Im back!!! but not with a charger

[mpdlawdog]

Hey all.....not that anyone cares but my divorce is final...the basement wall is fixed....hard to believe my charger has been gone a year now....finally got my stuff together and found this!  its a 72 ralley (JS code) 340 4 speed car....originally a yellow car but now has a CRAPPY rootbeer brown color on it...it hasnt been on the road since the mid 80's...the goodyear IIs still have the paper stickers on it...its a solid project but I dont think its a matching number car but have not looked...didnt really care because of the 4 speed and the fact it was a yellow ralley...I loved my charger but have always loved the challengers...found this and had to have it...is going to be a father father son project...my 12 year old has been bugging the crap out of me to get something so we can work on it together....hope everybody is well!!

I'm glad things are working in your favor. That looks like a very solid car, should be a great project.

Welcome back! The chally looks nice, I too will admit that I have challenger fever; I intend to own one someday!

Welcome back and congrats on a great new project! The resto of that Chally will be a trove of wonderful father/son memories. Outstanding.

Welcome back!  I'm glad to hear you got everything sorted out.   

And I for one really don't care if you have a Charger or not, I measure one's worth by attitude and ethics and I think you're on the good side of both of those.

Good to have you back! Sweet ride, looks really clean. What are the plans for it??

[Ghoste]

Good to have you back.

How did the basement go?

[Cooter]

Yeah buddy...love them E bodies. I got a 72 too, but I had to install all the cool factors yours already has.

[Patronus]

Looks good! Would it be rude to ask whatcha paid? I can feel that will be the next project down the line. Good luck.

Welcome back!  I'm glad to hear you got everything sorted out.

Me too.  Glad to see you're back - Can't wait for the build thread!

Welcome back. I've liked the Challengers since I saw Vanishing Point when it first came out, and ANY Father/Son project is great and it doesn't matter what it is. My son and I did a 1981 Camaro back in the mid 90's and I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world.

How did the basement go?

Well the basement actually went well...two day job...we actually had saved our tax return that covered the cost thank goodness....the only thing that wasn't covered was the digging...come to find out my ex was doing him so i got it done for next to nothing!!!!!

[mpdlawdog]

I have to admit I really miss my charger  . But love the pistol grip and spoilers/hoods on the ebodies....This weekend I got the engine ready to pull out....gas tank out and so on....I'm going over the motor and tranny and painting the engine compartment....brakes and tires/wheels...the paint will have to wait a while....
My son doesn't know about the car yet...it was his moms weekend so this weekend he'll be sanding getting ready for primer
thanks for the welcome...everybody on this site was awesome helping me with my charger...and for a good laugh!

Welcome back.   The Challenger will have many years of memories with your boy.    Share the progress!!!
