Hello all from Houston/Cypress Texas... I previously posted something on our club section, but not everyone's going to head over there....
Name's Troy. Been tinkering with Mopars, more specifically Chargers, since 1981 when I first started driving. I've been involved in mopar clubs pretty much my whole life with past involvement as President of the Houston Mopar Club Connection. I have owned many Mopars ranging from 1969 Road Runners, Lil' Red Expresses to my current collection of a '69 Charger Daytona and '69 Charger 500. I have a wonderful family.
Cheers, Troy

Busy day, you beat me to moving the post, lol...I figure it is good to have it up in the HMCC Club Forum as well, give prospective LSM folks an "at home" feel As I said before, that is one heck of a stable. Two of the best cars of all time in your garage; granted I am partial to the Chargers, particularly 69s, but I would be hard pressed to find many argue

You welcomed me, so I gotta welcome you too Troy! Troy's other nickname, in case anyone is wondering, is "The Man". So henceforth, all future posts will recognize him as Troy "The Man" Hawkes Cheers (Lance, where's the Beer smiley??? )

I know of another 69 Daytona over in Tomball. Belongs to my prior boss Rick Boen at Tomball Ford. I moved from being a Master CRR tech to the darkside, Appraiser! LOL!
Boy did the bodyman/butcher ruin it!! Chinese 1/4s and a crapload of filler! Hurt my feelings when I watched him cut off all the original steel from the back and put all that flimsy chinese stuff on it!
You probabely know my good friends Joe and Sheryle Keen. She has a 63 Maxwedge cloan and he has the 72 Blown Cuda out there in the Woodlands. I restored a 69 Superbee for them that is being assembled at this time. Detonator Yellow with a 526 goin in it. Says he is gonna drive it on the street??
Lots of Mopars hidden around here!

Unfortunately it was Ricks car. He had both 1/4's, both wheelwells, rear trunk floor 2 piece and the rear body panel replaced as well as the complete rear window channel and rt front inner fender/apron. Watched the butchery every day until it was primed. Last I seen it, it was ready for alot of block sanding. He put it back in hibernation again. He doesn't like talking about it too much. He is building a 68 or 69 Fastback Mustang as I type. My brother from another mother just painted it. I'm sure we will meet at nifty 50's. I am waiting on G&G to balance my crank,rods and pistons so I can assemble the turbo engine in my Cuda. Then I can get it painted too.
See you 'round!
