How about this, lets put together a dream team with real life experiance and develope true juging criteria."

Dave,

Juging? If we need someone to judge jugs I'm all in. I'm a self proclaimed jugs expert. Be it A bodies, B bodies or C bodies. However my preference is for the D and DD bodies.

However I'm pretty sure that the majority of F bodies are reproductions.

I do remember back in the day working on these 6cyl,318 and 440 engines they had rubber gaskets.

I forgot about that Bob! You actually worked on these cars back in the day. I don't know why some people take it upon themselves to contact magazine editors and express erroneous information or try and cast doubt about "provable" subject matters. (I actually do know but their petty insecurities are something they will never admit to.) You have to respect those who have nothing better to do than try and screw things up for others. Maybe they should use their idle time to fix their own vehicles!?! It would certainly keep them busy (instead of busybodies) and allow them to feel somewhat better about their own projects!

Thanks for the post Bob!

it's obvious the photos have been air brushed just like on a supermodel

We have also been accused of that Alan. "Someone" mentioned that we might have taken the correct aspects of what we documented, made them look different than what we actually found and then posted the "phony" results. THAT is when you need to ask yourself if someone is !

Asked dad and he to remembers the gaskets being rubber and that aftermarket ones would be cork.

Thanks for chiming in here guys! I have been more than surprised to find that a few "friends" have made it a point to talk to the Magazine that is covering the car and make sure that these "errors" were pointed out. They are such "good friends" but never had the decency to call and tell me what was boiling behind the scenes! To the contrary....they were actually part of the Gossip. Unbelievable to say the least. Many of these guys have preached about Chrysler vehicles being unique and how you can never say never with regards to how they were built. Then when I disclose some original DOCUMENTED characteristics, these same individuals suddenly do an about face and argue AGAINST the message that they have preached FOR YEARS! What I can't figure out is how they can say what is wrong but they can't SHOW anyone what is Right! Their typed words and opinions somehow trump the factual pictures that I consistently exhibit! I also find it amazing how they knew so much about this vehicle but NEVER had seen it before or during the restoration. I could bring a Chrysler Snow Runner to the Nationals and these "friends" would come out of the woodwork and claim that they had been researching and documenting THOSE vehicles for the past 30 years. I wonder what the real Target is for some of these "experts" and "friends"?!?
