Hi!
Little about me:
I'm a 25 year old guy
I have a 1973 Dodge Charger, it has a 400, transplanted by a previous owner, a bulge hood, and more problems than you can even fathom.
I'm a full time caregiver for my mom and little brother, I dropped out of college to care for them, they require full time attention, so any spare time I do have only comes in short intervals and working on a car for only 15 minutes at a time all while being constantly hailed isn't conducive to success!!!
Even though the Charger drove to my house I've never ridden in it nor driven it, it got taken apart immediately to swap out the thermostat, waterpump, radiator, fanbelts, and hoses and with one crisis after another, a couple of days turned into a years and it just sat.
I keep reaching for the brass ring hoping it'll be road worthy one day.
It would be nice if I had some flesh and blood mopar friends who could help me and dad out, barring one guy who is a fellow member on here, its just me and dad. We are struggling because while my dad is a great mechanic and owned many mopars, he's usually dead tired from working and I'm just not good enough yet.
Ill give it a bath this weekend and post some pics, its not a looker but its ours.
Also if you see my WTB threads, when I say cheap I mean it, my only means of income, like a small child, is through my dad, so seriously...I'm poor.
Posted a pic further down.
