New mopar owner from Australia!

Hey all!

Found your forum while researching on my resto project and thought I would register!
I am a new mopar owner, I bought my unrestored 1968 Roadrunner back middle of last year. Car was in a bit of a state, unrestored just in black primer, fresh import from Texas!
So far I have completely stripped the car out and am in the process of completing the restoration. I will do another post with some pictures and a bit of a story

Would be really great to get some answers to a few burning questions! Hard to get good info here in Australia as they arent a common vehicle.

Anyway, g'day from me!
This is the big girl in her current state:

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I will be sure to drop a fair few questions, dont worry about that!

For a bit of history the car has been through multiple stages in the last 18 months or so. Went from a quick resto to get it on the road (which involved what was supposed to be a cheap paint job) and a freshen up of the 383 motor with a few aftermarket bits. This morphed into what is now a full respray, new CME Built 522 cube stroker, fully rebuild 727 with manual valve body and eventually a 9" or dana 60 conversion.

Basically I am at the stage now where I have all the parts I need. Just waiting on the motor from CME and for the paint job to be finished!!

This is it the day I picked it up:

Few months later, dodgy paint job which I ended up not being happy with at all:
