I do have to apologize, its all NOS sheet metal… or repaired original panels when NOS is not available. You would be surprised whats out there and some of the prices these people pay for them. Also some of the extremes we go through to get some of the original parts back to new. ---

That’s why I prefer my old cars as race cars. I have 5 Mopars, Only 1 is for the street. It’s alot more fun not listening to the resto crowd. I’ve also been told about how my '64 Dodge needs to be returned to it’s late 60’s appearance because “All old race cars bring big dollars at Barrett-Jackson”. ---

I hear he’s in the process of restoring a Blue 70 GTX that used to be the fastest car on McKnight Rd back in the early 80’s. But that was a long time ago… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/looking-for-some-classic-car-owners/195966.md?page=1)
