Re: [FWDLK] Find the [mess-] ups!

Regarding the "hot topic"
I directed my computer to www.joeysplace.com, to see the restoration in
progress. It appears the car was red/orange, last registered in California
(see the blackplate license plate) and the hemi was in the car when it
arrived at the shop. If someone has LOTS of free time, there might be a way
to trace the licence plate thru CA DMV.
