Newb from Iowa

First post here. I'm from Ankeny, Iowa. Just picked up a project, 2006 former Red Bull MINI Cooper. I'm going to convert it to a pickup. I'm looking at a bunch of fiberglassing in the near future. I will post pics soon.

Oh, if you are wondering about my site name, it's for my 73 Dodge Dart Sport with a 512ci big block stroker motor.

Nice pic! I like that old Dart, probably because it bring back fond memories. One of my brothers had a '71 340 Duster and the other one had a '71 Challenger RT Convertible. Both cars where pretty fast!

Now THOSE were muscle cars! Of course they couldn't pass gas stations but back then gas was only .50 or so a gallon so who cared!
