Back in the Club!

[vtadmax]

Hello all! After over two decades of life getting in the way, I'm finally reliving my youth and picked up an old Mopar. This is my first hot rod since my 20's. My previous Mopars were a couple of 67 Barracuda notchbacks and a 70 Challenger. My new ride is a 1964 Dodge Polara 500 2-door (thanks dsracing01!). It has a 440, slip yoke 727, and a straight axle 8-3/4. Other than that, it's pretty much original, so the suspension needs to be gone through and leaks fixed. I'm loving being back in the thrash! I'm hoping to have it back together enough for the Fall Fling.

Funny you mention that! It was a nice runner when I bought it, so the first thing I did was get some fatter meats for it (Mopar steel 15x6 front and 15x8 rear). It had the stock skinny 14" wheels with the spinner hubcaps. After buying the tires, I checked the front end and found it was completely wasted. I knew it needed work, but thought it could wait a little while. Anyway, that with the leaks, up on jack stands it went. Better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks all for the warm welcome!
