Can you guys decode the fender tag for him? 26 EN1 N85 R11 VO2 V6X YO5 C62 J45 J54 M21 N41 N42 TX9 A34 A62 B51 C16 C55 EK2 H6X9 000 225 182854 E87 D21 JS23 VOB 262xxx

It was repainted blue and then pink with wild graphics and had a hemi in it when he got it. The entire interior was done in pink vinyl also. I would say the car was kept inside most of it's life as the sheet metal is awesome. Who ever raced it radiused the rear wheel wells for huge slicks. It's getting new AMD quarters and wheel houses to correct this issue.My friend bought the car in 2000 at the Nats in Columbus. He bought the car, the trailer it was on and the red 4wd dualie Dodge hooked to the trailer.

OK, the last two I don't have figured out...TX9 and H6X9. Alaskan T/A, if I sent you the VIN do you think you might have any paperwork for this car?

Wouldn't it be better to just repair the wheelhouses and openings instead of replacing the entire quarters?

He was really surprised. He said that he had been pricing a vinyl top for it because it had the moulding holes. He said it will get paint now just like when it was born. We'll be headed to Monster Mopar in June and he will be looking for a six pack setup. He said he can't remember where he put the 4 spd console though. It might be in this shed or the other barn or maybe over at his dads place
