Well after owning Camaros, Chevelles, and Nova's in the late 70's and selling them not knowing what I had. I have now passed the children stage of my life and decided to jump into a nice 2-year project. But to make it exciting I went with a Mopar! New to me but so far so good. I looked for a good starter project, something someone else started and then either got tired of or ran out of money on. I found exactly the first with this car. The previous owner had her 8 years...drove her home. Pulled the 318 and was going to drop a 440 in her. He soon found out this was going to be work and quickly stopped. The car sat in his garage for 6 years until he advertised her. He managed to do a good job moving the springs in and cutting out for the tubs. He also mocked up a big block and 727 trans with the correct mounts for each. I traded a couple of guns and $300.00 and she was mine forever. The rear end was gone and he had a Dana 60 housing. I have since sold the Dana housing and found a 8 1/4" Posi with 3.91 gears. This will be fine as this will be a nice BB Crusier...not a weekend drag car. So it begins, 3 months so far of body work and gathering parts. I will post pics and list of parts and my way of doing things just like the old days of the 1970's "Old School My Way".
