I would like to thanks moparts member James Klee (bodyworks racing) for the excellent job getting the body on my wrecked Daytona repaired. This job was way over my head and without his help may have never been completed. Any body shop can take a regular car apart, repair the damage, assemble, and paint but not everyone will take on a job like this. He repaired the cage damage, redid the damaged aluminum, removed and installed a new roof, removed quarter panel and installed one off a donor car with the needed modifications, and installed the new hairy glass rear panel. They also fabed up all new braces and installed zus fasteners. The works not done yet but he now has it were Matt and I can do the finish work and hopefully get it out next year. Thanks James for the excellent job. I would also like to thank his coworker but I am having a blond moment and can't remember his name. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I have all Summer to think about it because I will be racing the Duster this year. I will not go another year without racing and I think I will be running points this year. Matt and I have a little bet going to see who can win the most money this year so I have my work cut out. I opened my big mouth and challenged him. Imagine that. Now I have to start assembling backups in case I break anything. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I think I even remember how to swing a paint gun, if you need some paint thrown on the Daytona!! "I've upped my horsepower, so...... UP YOURS!!!"

Watcha doin with 440-1`s? I am one of the biggest pac rats that you would ever want to meet. At last count I had 2 sets of B1's, 2 sets of 440-1's, 1 set of 440source, 1 set of W2's, and I think 6 sets of small block edelbrock. I love aluminum. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I'm about ready to go but I guess I will have to give Matt a little kick in the butt to get him motivated. He kinda has a bad case of "girlfriend on the brain" at the moment which leads to very little shop time. The season is approaching real fast. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Hey I took lots of pictures of those flames and they have caused me many sleepless nights thinking about how to go about reproducing them.(you know those were done by hand) I think there's a market for these out there and I could be a rich racer instead of a broke racer.
