New guy.
Hello all. I'm new to this message board and am a 36 year old car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiast. Here's the kicker...I just bought my 1st GM product! I suppose that's not so amazing unless you you know that I build exclusively Mopar muscle cars, Ramchargers, and old Harleys (my friends can't believe I own a GM product...Not that I ever disliked them, I am just die hard Mopar guy). I must admit I am pretty impressed with my 76' Blazer, and am interested in learning more about it. I sure hope I can get some info from you guys and gals! I have spent alot of time reading your posts, and think that this is a great board. Anyway, Nice to meet you all. .. Matt.

Geez, guess I should give up my rides...
1) 76' Blazer, 8" lift, custom stainless triple shock towers, Ranchos with dual stabalizers, Con-ferr pumpkin guarding the 4.10's, Otherwise stock 350/350 SB with a rock crawler cam, NP 203 transfer switched to part time, 36" mudders on modular centerlines, seats from a wrecked Subaru WRX, and 4 pt harness belts. 2) 66' Dodge Coronet 440. It has a few mods, but I know you GM boys and girls don't care...Lol. 3) 86' Dodge Ramcharger SB 318....Off road only. 4) No year hand made old school chopper...Still considering a motor...Leaning toward a modified Shovel. Just so you all know where I'm coming from! |

Hey, welcome to the board. This forum is different than most you'll find, we don't run you off for talking about other brands of vehicles. We love to talk about any hotrod or classic.
Would love to see some pics of everything. I used to have a 68 Roadrunner. I've got a soft spot for Mopars too. Would love to hear of the mods on the Coronet. One thing about Mopar owners. They are as dedicated to their stuff as any GM product owner.

Hurry up and get those pics!!
I'd love to see the blazer...sounds like a nice rig! Don't worry 'bout sharing your "first" love with us. There are some true motorheads here...we admire anything that has time and hardwork dedicated to it...especially if it's fast! Welcome from Southern Oregon
