Going to the general now to see if someone over their will kick me in the nuts too. Craig, I'm with you. I would have re-bodied this Challenger in a heartbeat & not told anybody about it, & ended up with a better result. But Stephen, I commend you for cutting & welding this thing back together. '71 Bee looks great - I donated parts for that project - parts I had saved for many years for my never even started '71 Hemi Charger that burned up. -Eric No Man With A Good Car Needs To Be Justified
