Hello Everyone,
This is my first first forum post ever...so here it goes! I have been reading and researching For B Bodies only for a while now and decided to become a member because of all the very informative, helpful, and good stuff that is helping me with my new-ish hobby: building my dream car - a B Body Charger!
I have (0) experience building cars, engines, transmissions, rear-ends, suspension, electrical and fabrication. However, I'm a handy fella with a technical background, an adequate amount of skillset, a fair amount of patience and a quick study. The biggest engine I have ever re-built was a single-cylinder Kohler 241 single cylinder garden tractor engine. So I have a lot to learn!
The Goal: To leverage my research, skillset and resources and acquire a my dream Car (1968-1970 Charger) with my dream engine (RB-440: have this in my shop!! Good story there) and transmission (4-Speed: A833) and build a street-able cruiser that is reliable, sounds great and...if needed...can really get-up-and-go!
I will need all the advice I can get because of my lack of experience. Nonetheless, I have wanted a Charger since I saw my first Dukes of Hazzard episode, my best friends in High School and I all pooled our money together an bought a 1973 Charger in the 1990s (good story on that one), and have worked to acquire resources to support this endeavor.
Thank you all in advance for any guidance, direction and advice!
