Think that is the same guy.  The name is close but not sure of spelling. Great guy.  I wished he lived closer...from what I got to know of him, I could see us tinkering on some MOPAR project...great knowlage.

If you see him tell him the couple from SC that came over for the Challenger quarter said Hi.

We drove from G'ville, SC to Newnan (even left direction on the table at home) to get that quarter panel.  We just decided to make a road trip and enjoy some time together... Thank goodess I remembered most of the directions...did not even have his phone number ....

front end work stinks.  Lucky I was in class and at the training center I got thr bushings pressed in.  i also am doing some side work on a 2005 sentra its almost done.  I burned out the rubber in the lower bushings and then grinded a slit in them so I could split them and get them out.  i used the offset  bushings on the upper controll arms just in case. Anyway thats whats done for now .

Matching nbrs 340 1973.  Lots of nice detail work but I know its not really correct. It will be a nice driver.  cop box, 096 tor bars, xhd leaf springs. all new suspension. front and rear sway bars.
