RE: Fury update

[David Bailey <bb64d440@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You’re welcome for the snow Steve, (I do like sharing) but I should be the one thanking you for the snow, ice and freezing rain we got here in PA. Here is something else I’ll share with ya, how’s ’bout an early spring!!! Yes, our very own PA Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring this year! 
I did notice the saggy pick-up and assumed it was full up with goodies. I also noted as someone else did, that there is a later rear axle assembly under it. Nice! Great way to get spare parts!
You sound as though you’re undecided about what you might do with the car.  Hum…might you be considering parting it out? If you do, I’m in the market for a good Right Side Passenger Door for my 1964 Dodge B body Model 440 2-door hardtop. My door “looks great” but it was hit then straightened with a panel puller and bondo. I’d prefer to have all straight sheet metal on this car. 
Good luck Steve!
