Default Newbie to Dodges

Hi All,

I am new to Dodges this is my very first one, I sold my 73 CJ5 that I built last winter in my garage and was done with toys but I bumped accross this little gem and thought "What the hey" I could use a little relaxation in the garage this winter (Without the loss of money like the jeep)

So anyhow it's a 85 with 318, 95,000 orig. miles, the PO mildley abused it the last few months and hit a wall as you can see. It comes with a new front clip (2 fenders and a hood) I'll be looking for grill and bumper but I figured for $500.00 and everything works, let the games begin. Sorry I am unsure how to put the picture in, I should read the rules maybe you need 50 posts like the Jeep Forum

Glad to have you. To post pics= Click go advanced, manage attachments. Brings up another window. To download directly from your computer click browse,opens a window,click pictures or wherever you have 'em stored, click the picture you want,click open and then close the window,the file should appear in the manage attachments window. Then click download. When you submit your post it will add the pics. There is a limit on KB so a host is a good thing if you want to post a lot of pics.

Nemesis- I am not sure where the PO got the step up's but your right they are nice. There's a local place around Lancaster (Car-Mic) that can get those for anything. Here's the web site- you'll have to call for price if your interested.
