Bob, it spells the same forward or backwards...I've been known to be backwards at times.

yeah, it peeled a little from me working around it but 95% still attached.. has a early 70s NRA sticker in the windshield also.. and i have the factory dealership emblem that goes on the left side of the rear but one of the mounting pegs is broken off.. will have to fix that..

BTW... i don't like the exhaust going straight out like that... i am thinking some turn downs right before the valence.. or some tips.. anyone got an opinion?

I'd rather do the body trim stuff I know that part I'm just not a mechanic.
 
Speaking of mechanics, i went on the hunt for replacement bushings. Morrison, the mfr of the suspension doesent show parts, they dont even show the setup that is on this car. I got fed up and did this. Press fit into eye,tight slip fit into bushing. Its delrin.

My oldest has blessed our driveway with a tribute to the Mopar Gods! May they smile on our build and to the entire FABO! Happy wrenching!
