« on: January 11, 2007 - 06:04:29 PM »
More of a nice street car but almost a total rebuild by the time im done. Not buying all new parts or anything a lot of sand blasting and painting. Body work is very close to being done.  xhd springs from espo and .96 bars from mp the a complete suspension rebuild. Rock auto has some great prices on that stuff. year one want 600 plus for a gas tank  rock auto 400 plus this place had them for 219 same pn. http://www.gastanks.com/

OK, I had bought some parts from a Guy in GA that had worked for Delta.  I knew they were down sizing then.  Just thought you might be him ... Jeff was his name I think.
Part of the N GA Mopar club ... can't think of the name of the place he lived in... Nice guy!

  I have a friend that had a blue cuda and a 70 convert the blue one he got back years later when someone tried to get tags on it. He lived in Newnan and works for delta.

Newnan!
That is it, he had a house and a seperate garage (with a pit). He sold the convt just after I was there (as I recal) and the Cuda (was set up to race a bit) I thought was Plum Crazy...

He was parting a challenger at the time...

Jeff D.? his last name was a little odd not like smith jone etc.

  His last name was or is Zieze also the funny thing about it all is he sold everything and guess where he lives???? He bought my old house when i got this job. Were still good friends. i didnt even have to put my house for sell he bought it when he heard i went to work for Southern nuclear.
