Hello,

I've been in the hobby for about a year now. I moved from an apartment to a house so I would have a place to work on, and store my projects.

I have one B body, and two M bodies (which I'm sure no one cares about here :frog:)

I'm a big fan of the 77-78 Fury/Monaco, mostly from watching all the 80's action TV shows as a little kid.

With my new work schedule I have Saturday and Sunday afternoons off, so I'll be able to get involved in the Mopar scene here in Houston

I have a low mileage grandma car from Oregon that I had shipped 1,200 miles.

De-trimming a 1977 Fury to be an unmarked police clone.

hi and welcome to the site thanks for sharing your story and photos and post some photos of your B body also
 
Hello 4-Door! Welcome to the forum. Your car looks pretty clean and straight...thanks for sharing with us.

How embarrassing, I'm the only one with four door here (or one of the few). It's still a B body [Fury (1962-64, '75-78)], but not one that's really relevant here. Thanks for the responses, I'll be able to pick up quite a bit of tech stuff here that I can apply to my project. And then in a year or two take on a 2-door project.

You're not the only one here with a four door. In fact you'll even find some similar year police cars. Nothing to be concerned about!
 
Personally, I love the M bodies. I like the boat-tail Dippys and the boxier later versions. It must go back to my childhood when my dad was a copper, the Diplomats and then later, as a Watch Commander, the LeBarons left an impression on me. I've had a 75 Coronet (ex-cop car) and a 76 Monaco (2-Dr). I dig the unmarked cop car vibe (no trim, steel wheels, all business) a lot more than the painstakingly restored and/or cloned police cars. They're cool, and tracking down vintage police gear is a hobby in itself.

I watched a lot of cop shows in the 70s and 80s too. I used to Rockford that old Coronet til the hubcaps flew off, then go pick em up, pound em back on, and do it again.
 
welcome to FBBO...I had a friend with the same fury...It was a great sleeper car....
 
Welcome to the site! I'm running a 72 Coronet so you're not the only 4-door car here. Looking forward to see more of your Fury :)
