Grand Spalding Dodge

I applaud and respect all the guys who take on a Hemi A body project in their garage, this car just isn't the same thing.

The rear wheel wells are redone to accommodate the rear wheel setup, the shape same as the factory lightweight Hurst Hemi Darts back in the day. As for "butchered", 400 hours of body and fabrication time with the use of virtually ZERO body filler costs money. The whole thing is engineered to handle 850 horsepower and turn a 10 second quarter mile out of the box, on 91 octane.

If he's trying to milk his name, there are easier ways to do it than to spend TONS of time and effort to put this program together. Norm did this because he got tired of seeing the crap wagons being turned out by other "vintage limited edition builders" and wanted to give the Mopar boys something to be proud of.

Next week Wednesday Norm will be at the build facility to see a couple of new GSS Darts begin the build, meeting face to face with customers, making sure they have everything is right before the guys turn wrench one.

A man wanting to milk his name doesn't work as hard as hard as Mr. Norm does to make sure the product lives up to it. He doesn't have to do any of this, he's 72 for cripe-sake. Like the new GSS or not, Norm does deserve the respect he's been earning since 1948.

Checking the score card you will see one very "unique" Ford "recreation" is no longer in business, another Chevy "continuation" is no longer in "motion", and the best is yet to come over at Mr. Norm's...:snakeman:
