Every time someone would see my car on the street even before I started this experimental, they would yell out "Aluminum front end 440 Hemi! That car is light, but looks big and heavy"
Whereas when ever I saw a GM or a Ford, I would yell out, "Big cubes and heads".

In reality, what has now been seared into everyones mind is that though all the other brands have had better head design and cubes to launch their barges, we had semi-good heads -Except the Hemi- and lightweight bodies along with many lightweight trick parts to make up the difference.
The legend never dies.
Carry on.



Well spoken,
Our short bed 4x2 trucks were the lightest from 72 to 93
