Heyo

[StckweldinSteve]

My name is Steve, as you could guess from my username. I’m 34, I work in Pharmaceutical maintenance. Did 6 yrs in the Navy as an aviation machinist. I worked as a small engines tech while in trade school for welding. Got my start working on Trash compactors and welding dump trucks but moved over to Pharmaceutical maintenance when I got a break with a company that wanted welding/ mechanical and was willing to train.I live in North Carolina with my fiancé, a cat, and a golden retriever. In my spare time I like lifting weights,kayaking, shooting guns, mountain biking, going to local breweries and reading.

My car is a 1974 satellite Sebring plus that I’ve just begun to bring back to life. I bought it from an older gentleman who just didn’t have much love for mopar so I got a decent deal. It has minor rusting on the doors and some panels. Interior is out while for minor floor repair. I need to drop the gas tank while I weld on it (better safe than sorry)I got a new carb that I’m tinkering with the linkage for.The brakes need to be bled at the very least. I want to convert to disc brakes. The interior is shot and it’ll need new paint before I’m finished. I also want to get a full new exhaust system, headers and all. It has a fair amount of rust underneath but nothing crazy. Body is pretty straight. It does run when a carb is hooked up.
Nice to meet you all.
