Hi everyone from Manitoba Canada,

I just joined FBBO. My first time. I’ve watched posts on here for years but thought I’d joint in. I have a 68 Charger the my dad bought new in 68. After 20 years it’s finally done and I got to drive it for the first time last Dec... had no snow here until mid Dec last year. It’s got a healthy 440 and a 727. 3.23 gears with a posi. I am a certified red seal tech in diesel mechanics and have been a mopar nut since 1989 (I was 6). My dad also has a 68 Charger R/t that I’m working on this winter. It’s getting a 493 stroker. Just thought I’d say hi to all. I have a fairly decent knowledge base for mopars. If your from Manitoba give me a shout. I can hook you up with some good local people and a great body guy that is still reasonable priced. Hope to have some good conversations on here. I’ve attached a few pics of my restoration.

It’s not that bad up here.. I’m only 13 miles from the Canada/US border. Usually mid to late April- late October is muscle car season. Weather is nice here now. If it rains and all the salt washes away I may take it out next week. Supposed to be 50 degrees today

Welcome from neighbouring Ontario. Nice Chargers. Good story with father and son with same interest. One of my friends has a 1970 Charger R/T 426 Hemi. It was sold new in the area and never left. It is black and was featured in Bone Stock Muscle Cars magazine last year.
