New Guy from North Carolina

[Carolinachallen]

My username was suppose to be CarolinaChallenger but that's too many letters so I just used as many letters as it would let me. I'm new here, but not new to Mopars in general. I've got a 70 B body and have been wanting an E body for a while now. Finished cars are selling for quite a bit of money so I'm going to go the project route. I bought a couple of 71 Challengers a couple weeks ago, with one being a parts car.
I do my own mechanical, body and paint, but leave the upholstery to others. The car I plan to drive will need several panels, but luckily it's almost all there. I bought a few parts from Rat Rod Al on this site, and may have a few items for sale from my parts car.

Welcome from another Carolina Challenger owner. What size motor are you gonna run?

 

[Carolinachallen]

I've got a 440 sitting out in the garage, I'm thinking that this might be a good time to put it to use.

Welcome the forum! Greetings from Nebraska! Are you gonna drop in a 4 speed? Keep us posted on your project, looks like a blank canvas to build like you want! Great to have you here!

I'm probably going to use a 727 transmission that I have. I already have a slapstick shifter, linkage and console so I won't have to spend any money on transmission stuff if I go with an automatic.

Welcome from another NC member. From the pictures it looks like you are somewhere in the western part of the state like me. Good luck with the project.

 

[Carolinachallen]

I'm about as far North West as you can go in NC. I'm just a few minutes from both the Tennessee and Virginia state lines.

Kinda figured that, I'm stuck in Roxboro but I'd just as soon be back home in Boone!
