Dittoes, Akron Don.
The ROI on these cars will be disastrous, just like Dad's old Model T's.
But what the hey, most of us just want something reminiscent of what we saw on the cover of "Hot Rod" back in the early-mid 60's.
The "Wondering" survey certainly make that point.
A blessed Spring (getting a little closer) to all in Moparland.
