Re: New guy late intro

Welcome Dave, You and I have some in common. Sounds like about the same age 
and I too am working on a 64 Dodge 440. I am building mine as I would have 
done it in about 1966 or pre 440 engines.. There will be a few upgrades like 
disc brakes on the front  as I want to drag race a little. 413 engine and 4 
speed.  I know what you mean, get started with a basic plan and things 
escalate!  Mine was going to be a budet driver, but after going over every 
square inch , the 99% rust free body really  deserves nicer treatment.  This 
site is the BEST source of information, and the folks here are plenty 
willing to give advice................MO

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!
Dave Bailey
