Hi, I'm Gary.  My brother and I farm here in Iowa and in the long cold winters we do restoration work.  We are known around here mostly for C1 Corvettes (sorry for the foul language!) We have done numerous Top Flight Vettes but lately we have been getting into Mopars.  We own a '70 RT/SE U code, D21, A33, EV2, Challenger.  The last customer E body we did was the Olsonite AAR featured in April 2015 MCG.  I have never been a member of a forum like this before but you guys sound pretty sharp and we want to learn.     P.S. Not looking for work.

Welcome @Gary        Thanks for joining us.     Sounds like you have a pretty awesome Challenger.  EV2 is one of my favorite colors.     And you have a track pack 4 speed!     Tells us a bit more about it.  How long have you owned it and how did you find it?  Is it original, project or all restored?

         Thanks for joining us Gary.     You WILL learn E bodies here.   

         On a seperate note:  My doctor is looking for an original C1 (1958)  jack.  Any help appreceiated  .

I tried to post some pictures but even my wife couldn't seem to figure it out.  We found it years ago down South. So 95% original  metal, which is rare here in Iowa. Basicaly came as a basket case and we have restored it as close to numbers as we could without breaking the bank. We have learned a lot.  It is a lot tougher doing Mopars than Vetts.  More numbers, more date coded, parts more bare metal parts, which don't survive here in Iowa.

  from Spokane Washington. Sound like you have some nice cars. Can't wait for pictures. This is actually one of the easiest sites to attach pictures.

Just below the dialog box when making a post there is the word Attach:, then a small box that has choose file, then click on it and then navigate to where your picture is and then click on it, it will show in the small box/window. It will give you the option to Clear Attachment if you have the wrong one. Then to add more pictures, there is the phrase (more Attachments) the process is the same as the first picture insertion. Then when you are done, hit Post and it is published. You can then check out your pictures and edit if needed. Hope this helps, as I know the first time I tired this on a difficult site, it took some doing.

Yup, Mopar's are really fun that way.  Lots of date codes and little things, but coming from the Corvette world I'm sure you did great on the Challenger.

Step 5 and 6 should be of some usefulness for posting photos.

Can't seem to get the pictures to go thru. I'm sure it is something on my end. My wife is taking a nap now so will try later. Like I tell people I can wire a street rod, but my VCR blinks 12:00.
Yaa I know VCR????
