Just curious, are those Goodmark or AMD front gilled fenders?

They are Goodmark. I do have a set of originals that have rust on the bottom and inner brace, not being and original Hemi car I just opted to go new fenders instead of trying to patch them up.

I do like the colored grill if you have the matching bumper, but prefer the argent grill with the chrome bumper.


Hummmm.....That's kinda opposite of me....Sometimes I think there's too much orange with the rubber bumper, yet I love the rubber bumpers :screwy:

Not much to show for this week end, had to through a graduation part. Orignal plan was to try taking it for a test drive, but then we got 17" of snow last week, in May  :screwy:

But I did get one door panel done and on, will see what this weekend brings.

Finally got around to taking some pretty decent finished pictures of the car now that summer is almost done.

When I look back through the thread and I see the pics of the car when it was a hollowed-out cross-braced shell and then look at how incredible it looks now, it simply amazes me. Some of you guys have incredible fabrication and reconstruction skills that are absolutely astonishing! The end result of your work is super-sweet! :2thumbs:

Yea hear is a picture of when it was about at its worst point. That when you start asking your self "should we just put it in the dumpster?" and you don't think you will ever see the end of it.
