====================================================================
The guy that wants to race me is the one who GAVE me the DANA 60 that 
George Smith now has. He also GAVE me a 440 with an A833 and Hurst 
shifter from a '69 Plymouth. He was building a pro-street '69 Roadrunner 
to have a blown 440, etc. and had it to the paint shop when it was 
stolen. It was never recovered and he went back to his Chevies. It was 
goergeous too. It had been done by pro's. (The stealing too. )
