I am with you, Tom.  What drew me to the Mopar's when I was young was 
the way you could turn a grocery getter into a bonafide street rod with 
a beer budget, if you knew what you were doing.

No disrespect intended, but I'll take big meats, no heater, and open 
headers over repro air cleaner stickers and factory-correct hose clamps 
any day!  Then again, I am not in this to turn a profit :-()
