Love me a puppy! We lost both of ours a few years back and to tell the truth I have never been the same since.

Yep...I was a dog guy all of my life but didn't know it until I met my Wife and her dog. This led to another dog....then another...
Ok, seems I haven’t added myself here, so here goes. My screen name is the culmination of the band I’ve owned since 1989, Company of Strangers, gig is a tip to the band related word, and also both of my kids initials. This name goes waaaaay back to the beginning of the computer era.
As for my car, I currently have 4, 3 A bodies and one B. I traded my longtime ride 67 GTX and some cash for this one.
I don’t have many pics of myself, but the one included is of my daughter and I at Canyon Falls in Michigan’s UP.

Here is a pic that wifey found . We ordered a new 1968 Roadrunner mid-year when they offered the 2 dr hdtp. and several interior and exterior options. It is QQ1 Electric blue ( one year only) with black vinyl top. I had the Keystone Classics put on the day the car arrived at the dealers. This pic was taken Summer 1968. The 68 Sport Satellite in my avatar, will look like the Roadrunner did , after it is painted...... My user name " Cornpatch" is a truckers CB radio term we used for our home location "Cornpatch County" ( South West Iowa).. The "MO" is short for Mopar.. and my nick name.. If interested, I do have a build thread for the Satty. .....................MO

I love me some puppies. We had two and lost them both with in a year. Both to illness and age. I still pine for my boys even 3 years later. Cant seem to get another yet. Just wouldn't be my boys.
Your boys will send the right pup your way. In time brother, in time!

Me and my car. I think automotive aerodynamics is interesting. Where I live I am usually faced with a head wind or a cross wind so aerodynamics make a difference.

Thank you KernDog. I've seen posts of your work and I am truly impressed. I'm really out of my league on this forum, but I have years of practical experience and if I can help anyone out I will.
I joined this forum so I could have an intelligent conversation about these cars. Someone once asked me if my '73 Charger was a Nova! I was polite. My Coronet is a base model 440. Everyone always wants to know if it still has it's original 440. One guy was seriously put out when I told him it was a trim level (??!!). Etc., etc.

Hey...The use of the number 440 for both an engine size and trim level was not smart marketing...it was confusing.
I appreciate the nice words but I'm just a gearhead that loves to play with these cars. I have almost no interest in a 100 point perfect, OEM factory type restoration. THOSE guys are the real artists. Matching all the date codes for parts, duplicating all the original markings, paint finishes, cadmium and phosphate coatings, it all takes far more patience than I have.
The 1973 Charger was the best selling year model of Charger. I think that even over at Plymouth, they sold over 300,000 Dusters that year.
I like those 68 & 69 Coronets too.

The 440 trim level was several years before the 440 engine I wonder how they came up with 330 and 440? I expect the 440 engine was on the drawing board some time before it was in production.....................MO

First picture is me a year ago. It is what you see of me in the car on the street, just can be viewed as we pull away! Second is me in the 60's with our hand made Christmas decoration, I'm in the glasses.

Ya one out of ten like the color. But when it goes to the car show it is the ONLY car there that kids are allowed to climb in. They all seem to like the "Monkey Bars".
