        Hi all. I just joined a couple weeks ago. I've had a few mopars over the years but this is my first e-body. It is a lot rougher than I thought it was when I bought it.Of course 10 years under a plastic tarp in S.E. Tx. didn't help it any. I got it in a deal with a 340 engine for my swinger. Paid $1000 for them both so I think I can put a few bucks in it now. Currently have all the floors and wheel wells out getting ready to weld the new metal in. I just bought a 440 six pack motor for it.Lots of plans and limited time to work on it so it'll be a few yrs till I get it done. Hoping to get lots of info from y'all.Thanks,Ron

 :welcome:   sounds like a great project and the price sounds like a steal, especially getting the 340 with it. you are in the right place, tons of knowledge here and several e-body experts that are more than willing to help. don't be shy about asking for advice

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Should I keep it black? Was thinking plum crazy. :thinking: :thinking:

Cuda Cody

Do you think it was an original TX9 black car?  If you're not sure, paint it anything you want....   Plum crazy is a great color!

If I'm reading the fender tag right,it is all original color and trim Originally a 318 car

Oh!  Black is a pretty rare and highly desirable color!   :alan2cents:  But it's your car, so make it any color you like.  And enjoy it!   :burnout:
