Thought that username sounded familiar.... I'm on moparts as well; more of a lurker than an active poster, due to a lot of negativity there lately. You're also on cuda-challenger as well, right? Welcome to the site, and awesome Cuda![sm=smiley20.gif]
Thought the car looked familiar.... Mr. August!

On Moparts I try to stay out of the fray, but things do seem to be getting worse... I wonder if it might have something to do with an out of control Mod stirring up things?... Things seem a lot calmer at most other forums...
Your ID was the first one that I recognized on this board! See you around on the forums...[sm=gears.gif]

Also, since this is a Challenger forum, here are the ones that I currently own (also have a couple of parts cars):
1970 Challenger T/A - 340 Six Pak/Auto
1971 Challenger R/T - 383/4Speed
1970 Challenger Convertible - 383/Auto
Composite picture attached...

Thanks to you and the other forum members for your kind words about Ole' Yeller. I have owned that 'Cuda for about 25 years, and have had a lot of fun with the car. The restoration is over 22 years old, so it is not a "show puppy"... I have put thousands of miles on it since the restoration. When I restored it, the ONLY restoration part available for it was the carpet from Auto Custom Carpets! I plan freshen it up just a bit sometime soon, but nothing too much because I am tied up in several restorations at the moment. Repainting the engine, fixing the power steering and transmission leaks, and a nicer exhaust system would be a great start...

Thanks RLSH700 ! The T/A is my favorite... I wish its restoration was done!!! I haven't driven it in a couple of years now, so I need to flush the fuel system and kit the carbs... I hope to get it going sometime soon.

Thanks!... BTW, my first car was a 1962 Chevy Impala SS with a 327 and automatic trans... I am trying to find the VIN number to track the car down if it still exists. I would like to buy it back, or at least have a good look at it if the owner is too attached!

The 327 is to Chevrolet as the 318 is to Dodge...bulletproof! You sure have a lot of vehicles, what's the next buildup?

As far as the future projects, the current plan is:
1) Finish the Challenger Convertible restoration (about 95% done now)
2) Assembly my Limelight Green 4 Speed 1970 Hemi 'Cuda (just a painted body shell at the moment)
3) Start the restoration of my Triple Black Automatic 1968 Hemi Charger R/T
In case anyone is wondering, I bought most of these cars over 20 years ago when no one wanted them... times have changed!
Here are some pictures of the 'Cuda and Charger...
