Hello from a New Guy on the forum!

Hello everyone,
New Guy checking in here.
I've been a lurker here on and off again, but now I'm working on an old Charger and will need to ask a few questions. My name is Scott Faulkner and I'm from Central Illinois. I have a Superbird and have used the Aero section here for some info at times. I'm a member of a few other Mopar boards and see some familiar user here, so I have already met some of you. I'm a 42 yr old mopar nut that started with 340 A bodies when they were only a couple hundred bucks and bought my 'Bird as a disassembled project car in 2001.
I'll attach some pics here as well.

Welcome to the site. The Aero section is where all the good information is at.  :smilielol:




Had to say it, they don't let me out of that section very often.



Looks like you have a very nice looking Superbird. I gotta admit I don't look at Superbirds as much as i do the other aero cars, but do love Blue superbirds.

Hi Scott!  :wave:

Welcome to DC.com.  You can also posts some "before" pictures of that great-looking blue 'Bird so that folks can see what skills you have.  Suffice it to say that the car has come a long way.

Thanks for the welcome!
I'm near Peoria IL and as of yet have never made it down to MMW :-\
That will change this year as the calendar looks good for the dates and the DSAC meet is there as well.
i for got to mention that I have a job that requires a fair amount of travel, and two teenage daughters and wife that compete with my cars for my time and the family usually wins out.
here are some "before" pics of the 'Bird. the only thing I didn't do myself was the paint on the front clip and the vinyl top.
I told my wife it would be a six month project, and I'm still trying to get it all together!!!!
