I'm sure that has to stress the front end, too. one of the reasons they've wanted to go rack steering and aftermarket steering components.... but that "stock" thing keeps getting in the way Bucky was running some pretty good numbers.... still a Line Hemi between the fender wells?

He's not one to step away from something and spend any time thinking about it. He's probably taking it apart today and will be on the phone tomorrow morning ordering parts.

Bucky and Travis will have it looking even better the next time around. They are the BEST at paint jobs like this. 69 GTX 68 Road Runner
