Its really too bad that people as such continually impress their 
opinions and so called "knowledge" upon others. I always try to ask 
questions about a car, rather than make asusmptions. Unfortunatly there 
are some people who feel that clearly the people that have brought a car 
to a show need "enlightment", particularly from them. Ever notice they 
are the ones who ususally didnt bring a car, but feel they know all 
about yours? I think its car envy. But regardless....

There seems to be alot of this on the internet forums as well. Ask a 
question on some forums and it never gets answered, just shot down along 
the lines of "Who would want to use a cast crank anyway?" or "Why would 
you want to use those one piece K frame to strut rod bushings, buy the 
Mp 2 piece units, which are better." What are you a Mopar parts rep? Did 
you read that on the net somewhere and are passing it along, or do you 
have real experience with the said item?Just answer the question, which 
way do the strut rod bushings go in? (in from the front by the way) 
Opinions are appreciated, but info is needed as well.

Its too bad more people just cant appreciate the efforts another puts 
into a car, and not worry about matching numbers, overspray, correct lug 
nuts and such. There will always be plenty of such cars. Some of these 
cars still need to be driven.
