well I guess I didn't do this right and didn't do the proper welcome wagon thing before posting. Where are my manners.

I am Rani and I have been on the FABO for years now because A-bodies are my bread and butter and my favorite cars. However as the mopar fever spread and overtook me, I found myself also getting involved with a few B-bodies and a 73 dodge challenger. I build my own cars and I went to auto school a few moons ago.

The 73 challenger that brings me here is a neglected car by me and I am fixing to remedy that now. I got it about 8 years ago and the first and last time I drove it, I ran into the garage door post.(very minor damage) The reason this happened is because, as many of you know that E-bodies are a horrible car to see out of and navigate the insanely long nose for short people. After that, I took the 340 out and put it in my dart and had fun in the dart while the challenger sat for years now ( which somehow don't feel like that long of time)

So currently the engine compartment is stripped of all of It's paint and I am looking for a Non/ a/c box to replace the A/c equipment it had, then a big block will find residence in the car. And after I am done with it, I am going to give the car to my dad. So I am thinking it should be a fun Father/daughter project freshen up.

This is of course an extremely condensed version of the story of this car but its a start .....so HI FEBO IMAG0173 (2).jpgCIMG8787.jpgIMAG0142.JPG

One hell of an introduction. :kermit:
Nice car. It's my understanding that a small contingent of the little blue &$@%^£€ are heading your way good luck.

Post your progress everyone here is helpful.
Well at least everyone else is.

Yep! Leaving early in AM. Going to the Big Tiolet for the week. Football season is around the bend so it's off to work. I hate it but it's easy money.

Well hopefully ALL will be gone when I get back.
My neighbor called me this morning he left early for the Jersy shore. Told me there was a Fox and three young ones walking up my driveway. I hope they eat well.

Welcome. I once had a vertically challenged friend who was so small, he used hand controls. He drives a full sized van. A fellow walked up to us one day as we were talking and said " How does he see? ." " With his eyes I said ."

Nuff said.
