My Latest Project

I figured I'd go ahead and intro myself and my latest project. I found this site from FABO.com and figured since I am becoming more and more fond of the 71/72 Body style I'd come on over here as well. I've been a Mopar nut forever - since I was 3 years old to be exact. My parents bought a new '70 Cahllenger back then and that pretty much did it for me. Fast forward to today and I've had no fewer than 25 Challengers and at least as many other Mopars. I generally restify cars to my own personal taste and, since I am a working class stiff, I sell the completed car in order to start my next project (and pay bills).

I am currently working on a 1972 Satellite. I am cloning it into a RR. It's kind of rare in that it is one of the first 1972's off the prodction line for the 72 model year. The VIN is 206 and the SPD is 0714. That being said, it's just a 318 car that has been road hard and put away wet. I actually bought it as a parts car but realized that between its build date and the overall condition of the body, it would have been a shame to hack it up. As a result, I am giving it a new lease on life.

I also make custom & reproduction stripe kits

Here's a few pics of some cars I've done..

Welcome to FBBO Gary! Good to see you here from FABO! That humpback is sweet looking.

GTX - There's a story behind the Humpback. I built it in memory of my Dad. He had always wanted that exact type of truck and, when he passed away, I decided to build the truck he never had a chance to own. I did everything myself on it including all of the interior. I really wish I never had to sell it.
