Amen. Well said. Got to admit that I don't like the car either but life is way to short to spend it nitpicking others and criticizing them. Got a good friend who hot rodded it and made a beautiful 40 Dodge Convertible and is doing the same to a 32 or so Dodge convert also. Both tired cars to start with but I'm actually proud that he cares enough of old Mopars to bring them back in modified form even. Not many in this part of the world car enough to even do that! -----Original Message----- From: Jim Wilson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, October 24, 1999 6:22 PM Subject: [FWDLK] ebay car >I have read most of the postings with somewhat of a >bad felling in my stomach.
