My first E-Body (after a lifetime of want)

[B and A Bill]

Hi all, my name is Bill. I live in Gilbert, AZ. I own/run a small CNC machine-shop. And, I just bought my first E-Body.
Been a Mopar guy my whole life (well, since I can remember anyway). My Dad was a Mopar guy. He has deep roots in 60's drag racing.
I think I am the reason he left that scene. Sorry pops! LOL. 80% of my Mopar experience has been trucks. Specifically 70's 4x4's.
I am from the snow-belt in PA, and, used to plow a lot of snow. With Dodge iron of course! Built many engines/axle's/tranny's in my day.
My wrenching skills are solid. I've had a few cars along the way. But, nothing special. Been wanting a "real" Mopar as far back as I can remember.
But, when I was younger, I was not responsible enough to pull it off. Now that I am older, I have put 150% of everything in to the business.
Well, finally, after many years of ridiculously hard work, I have my first "real" muscle-car! I couldn't be more excited.
I've already gleaned a ton of info from this site just lurking. Hopefully I can return the favors one day. Until then, here is my new whip!

Congrats and Welcome! Tell us more about your car! (Love the colour! )  With more pictures too please! What are your plans for it, cruiser? concourse numbers matching restoration, pro touring?  There are a few of us "machinist" types on here. I was a mold maker for 25 years have enough equipment in the garage to make me dangerous !

Good looking car. Don't be afraid to ask up when you get into it and have any questions. I like the 70's pickups as well. This was a factory 440 shorty I restored.

LOL! The Ford "Ruby" is the wife's. It is an '04. Probably one of the nicest '04's left on the planet. Mostly because it is a garage queen.
Not my favorite vehicle in our fleet. But, I hate her '10 Camaro far worse!
I drive an '04 Dodge 3500 diesel 4x4 regularly. But, it is down right now, so my daily has been my '70 D200.
The big Dodge, and the little Dodge:

Ha, ha: I had a few too. 1970, 383 D100, 05 3500. I brought the D100 back from Az. Anyway great Challenger, I think you bought a good car there.

Okay, you're forgiven on the Ford truck... Maybe she'll come around one day
