Hmmmm, I guess you need to join each one of these forums individually . . . OK, so here's what I posted over on the A body forum. :icon_lol:
"Yup, somebody had to tell me about this place so I decided to join up. There's probably a few guys here that might know me from car shows and swap meets but I'm kinda out in the middle of nowhere in Northern, Ill. I do swap at most of the Chicagoland Mopar Connection shows (although not an actual member) and have had at least one Mopar around since about 1973. I've had a few Dusters and Demons, a Roadrunner, Coronet, 'Cuda, Aspen, and even a couple C bodies, and a few trucks and vans along the way, too. I few years back I sold the 68 Coronet and the 71 'Cuda and kinda changed over to AMC - mainly because I like their styling and couldn't afford parts for the Mopars I had. I do still have a couple of Shelby Dakotas and an old Cherokee I'm trying to get 300 thousand miles rung up on so I guess I'm still into Mopars somewhat. Lately I've been kicking around the idea of finding an old A or B body cheap (yeah, I know) so I can get back into the Mopar thing. Plus I really gotta do something with all this Mopar junk I have laying around since I got rid of the cars. I like the smileys here, too - most of those AMC foums can't afford them."
I'll prolly run an add for some rechromed Mopar bumpers I have when I get time if it's OK with you guys. :icon_winkle:
Oh yeah, here's a couple pics of the "Ratmobile" - 73 Ambassador with 69 front end - you wouldn't believe how many times someone's asked me "is that a Charger???". :head_smack:

I'm more of a swapmeet/gearhead/project car kinda guy - you know the guy that never finishes his cars - just drives them. Even B bodies are kinda expensive for me any more - I've been looking without much luck (and even less money). The muscle cars are out of my range but I saw a neat 75-76 mid-sized Fury at the Naperville Mopar show that interested me. I had a nice 76 Charger at one time but kinda turned it into a pretzel - liked the interior and the ride on that one. :icon_wink: I had a nice 73 Roadrunner, too, but a cop ran into me and kinda finished that one off. :icon_blackeye: Guess I haven't really had that great of luck with B bodies, huh?
