Hey Allen, I'm a little late to the party here but glad to see you got my 14.4" care package of "good weather" I sent down.  :smilielol: I can see where you would be snowed in with that much. That would give us headaches also and we're used to it. Cars looking good and moving along nicely. I vote for no polka-dots though.  :eek2:

Thanks guys... I believe Greg is doing a great job!  :cheers:

Here goes with a post that has been a popular point of discussion on this thread and other restoration threads as of late...  I guess that I will have to take a couple of demerits because I don't consider it a critical feature of the restoration, especially a non-concours one like mine.

Charger rear valance end caps to valance gaps...  The top two pictures are from my C500 during dis-assembly, and the other two are of a 1970 Charger quarter panel.

At one time I considered doing a "Wilson" like on Home Improvement, and always have the gaps partially hidden in the pictures that I posted...  :D  :smilielol:
