Hey guys........ Off from Guard Duty this afternoon and figured I'd put something on her..... Of course, I couldn't resist the "Hemi" badge and a new NOS mirror......... I think she's going to be hard to give up, especially after such a cloudy 5+ years in the body shop.. But, if I don't spend another dime on her and sell the '70 v-code, I could have my dream Daytona.... Guess it's age creeping in on me and I'm sort of tired of having projects and not running cars other than Dana......... So, if I can get a Daytona and keep Dana (my '69 Charger 500 for those that don't know) as well, my Mopar life would blossom again.... Sorry for the repetitive nature of my banter, but I guess I wanna make sure I'm doing the "right" thing, if there is such a thing......

Here's the fender tag....... It's original, hence the pitting here and there... If I was going to keep her, I might contemplate getting a new one.. I made sure I painted the one screw and left the other one natural...

Short of finding a wing car in that color, or similar color, I'd vote keeper....... I once thought I'd trade my Q5 up for a Black A12, and black is one of my fav colors (black pickup and black subaru in the fleet), but I'm liking the fact not too many around, and it' sure is purdy
