Welcome to the group.

I've kept my 65 Bel 1 ready to go back to stock, with exception of tying the frame together.  Except for wheels, the car looks stock. Underhood kinda looks stock but headers and edelbrock intake give it away.  Those can always be removed. My long term plan is to get the car to sub-12 second runs then flip it over to a 426 street wedge clone. Have all the parts.

Hello, I’m Dave and I’ve been visiting this site for quite some time and recently joined about a month ago. I’m not only new to the ’62 to ’65 Mopar site but a new and dedicated Mopar Fan since I owned my ’64 Dodge for about 5 years now.  I’m of senior age and just 7 months into retirement and reside in Eastern PA. I don’t know what took me so long to come to my senses, I guess what they say is true, with age comes wisdom!
I’ve been car crazy all my life. I’m mechanically inclined and been school trained and employed in the auto body repair and refinishing field during and after my high school years (a long time ago) but left the trade in favor of improved benefits and income.
I remember during my high school days, admiring those potent "then late model" Mopars of the 60’s of which I could not afford to buy then. So today, my project car is a ’64 Dodge B body two-door hardtop model 440. It has the original 383 4 barrel and 4 on the floor w/dual exhaust and 8 ¾” Sure-Grip. No p/s, p/b or A/C just a straight AM radio and heater. In my mind, this is a perfect example of one of those memorable and classic Mopar muscle cars of the day. 
It is now in my humble 25’X40’ shop under-going a complete tear down getting ready for a full rotisserie repair / rebuild. There is ample evidence in all the usual areas of haphazard patchwork/repairs that must first come out in order to be correctly repaired. But I don’t mind, I have the time now and I’m back doing what I’ve always loved. 
For the present, my plan is to re-store it to ‘as stock’. I’ve always appreciated originality. Although, the further I progress with the teardown, the more difficult it’s becoming to resist the urge to soup-it-up! (Or hot-rod it!) So maybe if I do any hot-rodding to it, it may well only be the reversible bolt-on type of modifications.
Thanks for having me!
Mopar questions will follow, believe me!
