Dear 71Nova, I guess your right! You will here it from us Mopar guys. Now that you forgot to mention in YOUR reply was that I also mentioned chevy's, olds, and fords in it as well. So I didn't try to sway his opinion in any way towards what I happen to like.
I have had my share of GM's that I have owned as well.
'70 Chevy 1/2 ton 350/4 speed customized
'76 Monte Carlo tri-black, swivel buckets, T-Tops
'77 Olds Cutlass
'78 Olds Cutlass Calias that I spun the main in and replaced with a Z28 engine and drive train
'76 malibu
'73 Camero with a 350 and a radical cam
Sorry guys...no Fords
Ya know some people like a car brand, engines, and such just because they are cheap to build. That is fine. I just look at things a little more different.
I like the body lines and styles that ma Mopar had to offer. Sure they had some ugly stuff. So did Gm and Ford. Can't say they didn't. I also looked at it this way. Whay be part of the pack and follow along like everyone else does. Makes life kinda boring. So why not LEAD the pack instaed of being part of it. Also, the air is better up front. If ya know what I mean...LOL
Thats also why I didn't build a mid '40 Ford or a Hi Boy when I went to build my street rod. I built a T-bucket to get my feet wet then I did "46 Plymouth 2 door sedan. EVERYONE has done mid 40 Ford, a hi-boy, 34 coupe, 55-57 Chevy. I mean why do what everyone else has done?!
I suppose it comes down to this..... Put a Ford guy, a Chevy guy, a BOP guy, and a Mopar guy and everyone one of them can come up with a car, power train, insurance, cost to build combination that is equal from everyone. Tit for Tat!! Build what ya like!!! I don't make fun of the other brands ( well not to much). They all have there street screamers and thier POS's.

Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
