Amazing cars!

Serious re-pop fender tag on that Hemi Challenger 'vert, but probably has the original safely somewhere else, so don't blame him for that.

The black, rubber bumper Hemicuda '70 'vert is breathtaking!

You're right.... he has it safely at home with the build sheet.  I spoke to the owner for awhile when he parked next to my trailer at the hotel.

Taking advantage of the time I got with him I looked over the car and noticed something.  All the parts on the car were NOS from a well known restorer, but the grille only had one silver step showing when I thought all RT's had two.  The agent grills should only have one.  The grille looked EXACTLY like a NOS with the way it was.  Could they have done them both ways on RT cars?

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Hard to say.

I had my grille re-done by Mike at AllTrim when he was still doing refinishing and will have to go home and check.  I'm sure he does it correctly, but hard to say what is correct and if NOS, OTC was a bit different???

Ha, I wish I would have known.  I was the guy helping the e-bodies park on Sunday.  Probably talked to you a bit and didn't know the CC connection.

Beautiful car!
