Hi guys! It has been too long since I have trolled these pages. My life kind of took a few unexpected turns (divorce in 2013 & major health scare in 2017). Rest assured, I'm fine and made it through.
I used to have a 1971 Super Bee and a 1972 Charger Rallye... the divorce took my Super Bee but my Rallye has been quietly hiding, waiting for it's turn in the spotlight. After sitting undriven in a garage for 8 years, I got to a place that I can make stuff happen. In December, I pulled the engine & trans and gutted the engine compartment. On January 5th, I took it to the best painter in my area for a complete strip and repaint.
While I have a lot of knowledge about these cars, I don't know enough. I wanted to come back here to learn and help where I can... I look forward to jumping back in.
For those that aren't familiar with my car...
1972 Charger Rallye, 440, 4-speed, N96 Ramcharger Hood, TB3-Petty Blue

Holy cow! Bobby, is it not? Good to see you again. I've tried to reach out to you a number of times over the years, by PM, email, and I even trolled the member ship rosters of the local MOPAR clubs (I think you were in NOMM or one of the local clubs?). I knew you had a lot going on last we had heard, but just wanted to say hello. I'm glad you found your way back. Like most forums, this one is not as busy as it used to be, and a the names and faces have changed, though there are still some long time members here. As for the Rallye, if you have some photos of the process, we'd love to see 'em. We've still got the Members' Restoration Threads area for just such things. Members' Restoration Threads

Thanks guys... just visited the car yesterday. Exciting yet sad to see it torn down. Progress is being made and this guy doesn't mess around. He's 69 years old and still killing it!
I can't upload any photos for some reason...
