I was born and raised in northern Indiana the middle of three boys, My Dad was a mechanic so I grew up around cars and have been to many schools and had many years experience working on vehicles.  When I was in High school back many years ago, I fell in love with the '68-'70 Dodge charger body style and I knew their drive train was built tough because my dad had a 1976 D250 pickup, that survived through three teenage boys, which as we all know are gentle on vehicles.  Shortly after High school I did some trading and ended up with a 1969 Dodge Charger with a 383 High Performance motor & a 727 torque flight with a consol shift tranny.   I owned and drove that care till I had to sell it due to a divorce back around 1993. Seven years later I finally got the opportunity to pick up a 1974 Dodge Charger SE for $750.  I drove the car home and then drove it to work every day for the first three years. I still own the car today, and am working on fixing it up, I'm almost done with the engine and then I can get started on the body.
