Howdy Guys and Gals,

New to the site, saw many great posts in reference to searches I was doing on the internet.

Long time enthusiast although I have been out of the hobby for a few years now. Recently bitten by the bug again so I am stalking all the car graveyards I can find in search of that next great project.

Experienced bodyman and painter, though I do not do it for a living anymore. Taste in cars is resto to resto-mod. I like them to look as stock as possible, but with a solid rumble under the hood.

Welcome Joe. I guess you could say were neighbors. I'm over here in West Plains, Mo. and let me say. Your not the only one here with that bug thing. Bunches of folks here with the same symtoms, but that dont make us all bad. Good knowledge here and you might check out our sister site over on forabodiesonly.com. Good folks in both places so bail right in and make yourself at home. I have now since 04. Careful, you'll get addicted. What kinda a car you looking for? We gotta know.

Oh my goodness, that's a tough one for a MOPAR addict with A.A.D.D. I like E-bodies, but they are so hard to find anymore. I have had a 70 Challenger 340 auto and a 70 Challenger 383 4-speed both I lament getting rid of.

My current burn is/was a 68 Charger, another one that got away. I had a 68 when I was in college, but sold it when I got broke. I guess you could say I have the most experience with B - bodies, since I usually go looking for something, and end up bringing home a B Body of some variant. I would be as happy to find a 68-70 Roadrunner, GTX, Coronet R/T, Superbee as I would be to find a 1968-70 Charger (although I do confess I think the 68-69 are nicer looking than the 1970). I would consider rescuing a big block 1971 B body, but that is really my fall back position.

I know right? Not asking for much right? Really just looking to find one project car that will be worth something when it's finished instead of another in a long line of 318 cars with 440's stuffed into them.
