No, not really. But, I am new here and wanted to say hi.
Historically, I am an ebody guy and 2nd Gen Cummins Ram guy. If you have any diesel questions, I can either help or point you toward the reference materials to figure out your plight.
I started this Mopar obsession with a survivor quality 69 340 Dart Swinger I bought out of a wrecking yard in Denver for $400. Through a bunch of horse trading I ended up with a 70 barracuda and a pile of parts. My dad has a few cars as well.
Since then (15 years!), I have been away from home and have not had the time or space to put the car together. Thankfully, the USAF is getting me back to Colorado and within striking distance of the farm and shop. I am going to get back into the car and finish it.
I also want to get a C body. I have always loved them as well, but never had the time to devote to the search for a good one. I really want to find a 60-61 non imperial, 66 Chrysler 300, or 67-68 Imperial. 2 door or wagon preferred... Although if it is clean and complete, I really don't care how many doors it has. I just want another car to wrench on, drive, and enjoy, before they are all priced out of my league!
Now for pictures, because who doesn't like pictures!
The Barracuda, as rescued. Really a neat car. It had a manual foot pump style windshield washer in it as well. Body isn't bad as a local Colorado car. I wish I had more pics of it originally, it had a killer set of 70s mohair seats and what was probably a very expensive Pioneer stereo and mono amp that weighed about 10 lbs. You can see some of the junk yard parts in the background.
The 72 (dads) But I did most of the original assembly. It is now stripped with a new quarter and getting paint. I want to stay with the Gold, but that is a losing battle.
At the Golden Super Cruise.
Trucks... I have a thing for the 2nd gen Cummins. Currently have the blue one. 02, 2500, ATS auto, II 62 Phatshaft, DAP 125 SAC injectors, smarty, TST Comp, etc. It is a heck of a good tow vehicle, and is legitimately fast in its own right with over 500 dynoed rear wheel hp.
