Another Newb from B.C. !

Hey all.
GREAT IDEA this having a classics Mopar type site !
I'm an old fart, so no offense to anybody ? but my tendencies lean towards the older classic Mopar Musclecars of the 60's and 70's that I grew up with.
I was an apprentice Mechanic at Dodge Dealerships back in the day, and I ended up Drag Racing them most of my adult life.
I had my own Shop machining/building Drag Engines for some of the best here in Western Canada back in the day, so I may even be able to contribute a bit if anybody's stuck on an Engine project ?
bye for now
Bob.

Hey Bob Welcome aboard. Glad to have your experience to draw from. Look forward to chatting with you.

Welcome to the site!

Welcome, where in BC are you?

Hey Bob , welcome. I have a very similar background other than the drag racing. Spent many years at a custom engine machine shop in Red Deer. I still build engines out of my shop at home . Just finished a 63 383.

Welcome aboard Bob. The more machining/engine building knowledge, the better.
Your Charger R/T SE in your avatar looks similar to a Charger that was for sale on Kijiji. It had B.C plates and it was black on black with a saddle interior. Is this the same car?

Yep, it was.
I'm old and have had some health issues so I thought about selling it.
But alas,
might as well just keep it and let the wife figure and kids figure it out later.
Besides,
what a PITA people can be responding a free ad ?
"NO... I don't want your 1982 Ford Grenada in trade"

Let me guess....
Alan Lee's shop before Dwight passed ?
Frank Kushner maybe ?
But I thought Frank stayed more over by Ponoka ?

SMALL WORLD !
Good for you doing it at home.... keeps the overhead reasonable !
I still tinker here too, but it seems just about everything else in life gets in the way ? So not much gets done !
