    I worked wrecking yards for 10 years, Never did I see anyone take something like you have done and put that much Sweat ,Blood and Effort to bring it back ,I understand the value thing, But I think its more than that to you,I feel you wanted to be challenged and be vindicated you could accomplish this task ,I am in my mid 60's now ,i have seen a lot in my life , And you sir have given me a smile where others have failed ,I salute you as a vet ,I say congratulations as a fellow Wrench,You have my respect.

      You should watch the AAR cuda build on graveyard cars, I believe season 3 or 4. Mark bought that from a guy who had been taking it from show to show for years trying to sell it to someone willing to build it. That car was almost as far gone as this one, in fact, that car is the reason that AMD builds all of these parts and the roof panel now.

      This guy is going to kick himself for not dipping this car. It will rust as soon as water hits it. Gotta follow the grave yard cars method. Mark is a horrible comedian but a master rebuilder and care taker of mopar…

He said he bought parts that never showed up. I think he's still waiting on more parts, or hes had a video of it but hasn't posted or is just editing it.

    Wow. I am in the middle of my 70 GTX. I did it a little backwards. I have the firewall painted. The 440 6 barrel rebuilt and dropped in. I owned mine since 1981. The only real body issues are the corners of the windshield. And the corners of the back glass. Lower pass quarter panel. I have all the parts to put it back together except the seat covers and foam. You have inspired me because I only have to replace 25% of my car. Great job on this classic. Looking forward to seeing it to completion.
