New from Warren County
Hi, I'm Bill and I just came across the NJFBOA site, I'm located in Great Meadows up in Warren County but work in Hackensack so I'm back and forth across all of North Jersey pretty much daily. I'm currently restoring a 68 convertible and a 71 RS with a 72 Z-28 waiting in line. Looking to meet other people in NJ with interests in first and early second gen cars and keep track of local events.

Welcome, I'm right in Long Valley! We have a decent group who attends the local cruise nights in Hackettstown and such, and carpool/convoy to the monthly NJFBOA meets.

Oh, very cool, I can hear them running down at Island on the weekends from my house, I'm just a mile or so away.

At least 1/3 of the meets I've been to have been in the Explorer, so don't be afraid.

Yes sir, pretty much all original and stock. Keeping it that way with exception of adding front power discs and larger rally wheels.

Looks like it will shape up to be a nice cruiser. It's great how your family is involved, too!

Yeah, it's cool, my eldest son has been into working on the cars for a bit but the wife is really excited about this one and has been pitching in quite a bit too. Been a fun project so far, trying to keep the budget in line with actual progress so I'm buying as I go which keeps things managable and progress moving steady

Thanks for the welcome! I've always wanted a first gen car but could not afford one, this just kinda worked out well. My dad had a 67RS that I remember from my childhood. I've also got a few early second gen cars that I'm working on.
