It is kind of odd how different the A and B body forums are... B-body one feels like it's 99% for restoration stuff although the race guys are a pretty serious

Another way different culture is the AACA guys mostly pre 40's cars. Pebble beach types.

I don't mind the crazy or if someone has a position they want to posit but it's the ones that the ONLY thing they do is crap on everyone else but never seem to have an original thought.

Whatever dude...I'm a rookie but dang, do your research before you flame people needlessly and from a position of ignorance.

Each has it pourpus. The 100 point can be challenging to find the right parts in the right coatings for 2nd week of feb 1963
 
I started at the E body site with my Cuda but learned very early on that I was not Ever going to fit in due to fiberglass parts roll bar, toggle switch dash etc etc. They shredded me early and often for my car. That is what drove me to FABO. I figured out most of the tech type stuff I was interested in spanned multiple body styles. And this site is a wealth of guys that do their own work and live and let live. Been here ever since.

Then the internet warriors, love to mess with them on ignition. But I read..........
 
It seems FBBO there is alot of knowledge on also and some share it. I limit my knowledge after getting burned by a member that is a poser for sure.

I miss my challenger soo much :( You guys ever just get tired of a car and just unload it to get rid of it? Happened to me....
 
One constant on all the sites is Manifold vacuum vs Ported vac for the advances. That gets heated at times.

Yeah, I was only 17 years old in 1974, so I was too young. But I did have to register for the draft before they abolished it I think in 75 or '76. But my father served in Vietnam between 1968 and 1969 in Nha Trang as a radio operator on C-130 special aircraft for recovery of down pilots

To a degree, my wife made a very astute observation that ultimately it is the build that excites me. It takes me 5-7 years to get one done. Once I am done I drive the heck out of it for a few years then it is on to the next build. I got a nice little 360 sitting in the shop that I am looking for a wrapper on! Thinking about a 1960ish Jeep!
