so nice to see not that there are people out there that have intrest in things that don't have 3 carbs or spark plugs through the valve covers. I love seeing those cars but to have a customer that wants it the way he bought it new very cool. Congrats. To me doing cars like that will only increase your business. People will ultimatly think hey if he can do that with a 318 car he can surely do that to my hemi.

Question- No lock ferrule? Normal for '70 Duster? How odd.

Mike.....I was asking Tony D the other day how his daytona was coming along and he was excited to inform me that your shop put out an A body that won OE Gold at the Nats. I havent seen any detail pics of the car though with a score as high as the score you rec'd it must be amazing. To get within a small handful of points of the black valiant....the car I consider the gold standard of workmanship and technique....is one heck of an accomplishment. Hopefully the owner of the car is quite pleased. We all look forward to seeing Tony's daytona when it's done. Of course a daytona is a lot more complex than a duster but with Tony's ability to supply you with juicy parts and your now proven skills it should make for a phenomenal corroboration. Again congratulations! Steven
Thanks Steve for the kind words. I really appreciate that. Mike

Yes the door lock ferrules where a point of conversation. This car never had them installed. My research found several original examples without them. This was an LA built car with several deviations from other plants.
Can you show us a picture of the LA plant undercarriage on this car?? I've never seen a LA plant car with a high level restored undercarriage.
Is this the first LA built car to to win OE gold?

I have seen several original/unmolested examples of both 1970 and 1971 Dusters and Demons (from the LA plant in particular) none of them had ferrules from the factory.
