Aloha fella's! Nice site. See some familiar faces around here. I've been a member over at FBBO & FABO for quite a while. Figured I'd check into E-Bodies as well. I don't currently have an E-Body at the moment, but play around with Mopars quite a bit. Never know what might pop up on the radar. So, hello to all.....glad to be here.

Glad to have you over here as well, welcome!

welcome aboard Prop...

Wow......It's like being out of town, walking into a bar and running into a bunch of folks you already know around here! Good to see you guys!

Everything is good in the Motor City, thanks. I hope things are good with you too. What are you working on these days and how's Skeletor?

Going good Matt! Same old man......chopping apart Mopars and trying to put them back together again. LOL. This time a bit less rust than the bird, but a whole heck of a lot more bondo. Think I like the rust better man, it's more honest about it's ugly face. Finally got Skeletor out of storage just last weekend. The car acted like a grumpy old bear waking it up, but should find some time in the next week or two to blow the cob webs off and have her running full par. Here's a shot from saturday:

Haven't even tried waking the Coronet up yet. Still snoring with it's head under the sleeping bag. Project right now is a little A-Body for the wife to scoot around town in. 1971 Dart. Had it shipped out of Cali from a FBBO member and turned out to be a little more of a project than I bargained for. Below is a couple more current shots from it. I already replaced the roof skin from a donor (looked like a planetarium from the inside), working on welding on a AMD quarter skin on the passenger side, then off to the driver side. Doors need to be reskined (also full of bondo), after that, it's off to the block & sand rodeo

Obviously my plan for an easy solid southern cali resto didn't pan out the way I hoped. But so goes it right? Like I said, same old...same old, just rolling with the punches amigo! Take care.

Skeletor looks fantastic and the new project does too, good to see it. Sounds like life is good in WI! I read your thread about your grumpy car and I'm thinking its fuel related. Today's ethanol based fuel really is bad for our cars, I go with the full tank with additives for storage.
