I got more serious with it about 5 years ago and started doing all the little items. I got a lot of great advice first from the MML and later from Moparts. Once all the little stuff was done I ran into a road block trying to find a body shop that would do the body to the levels I wanted. I can't say enough good things about the shop I found just a few hours away in North Carolina. The guys at Clark Classic Restorations had the body about 7 months and when I got it back it was just as I had envisioned it. I have had plenty of fun(and fustration) putting it all back together over this last year and now finally getting a chance to enjoy it in a different way by actually driving it... I am in debt to everyone who has helped me one way or another on this forum...Thank You. Jim 68 Hemi Road Runner 5030039-P1310072.JPG (61 downloads)
