Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

Thanks guys! The bigger wheel issue is always a "room divider". I wanted to use wide, sticky low profile rubber for better handling. I've seen plenty of 20" wheel B bodies that looked out of proportion in my personal opinion. I went with 18x9 up front and 18x10 in the back.

I like that the Blue 71 had pictures taken in about the same spot!

Many Have asked, and I finally got out to where he was wrapped up for winter and snapped a pic of the before. I only have ONE pic of ONE of the three cars it took to put this turd I call The General Lee back together. No engine/trans/rear. No leaf springs, no dash, wiring harness, tail lights, no interior at ALL, no Quarters to speak of and the one that was straight on the driver's side got bent up when it fell off the trailer into the creek getting it out of the guys woods, No front suspension left and what was there was bent a twisted, no back glass, doors were bent up, Front frame rails bent up in the air about 1 ft. on driver's side, and had to clip the entire front end. but it had a title and solid floors.

This was the main body which had the title. I used a 1970, and two 69 bodies to create the GL.
The entire front end as well as the dashboard is 1970, while most of the rest of the car is '69. There were some '68 Parts thrown in from a buddy too.


This was one of the '69 Fenders I fixed before AMD was around. Yes, it's the same one you see in the pic.


And you guys have seen the General Lee after pics.

Really didn't think to snap more pics of it. I only got this one because the guys I worked with at the time couldn't believe how bad it really was, and I walked out that morning before work and snapped my last pic on that roll of film. It was still cloudy.
