    I have a Max Wedge intake that is said to have been modified by one of those Tignanelli guys. As many times I have seen pictures of that car. Never noticed their name till now. One heck of a good job. Looks almost too nice to race...Gene.

    I know this is a big ask but if anyone has a nice NOS or used hemi headliner I would be interested. The one that was in the car was ripped

    The material is specific to hemi cars and no one reproduces it. There is also no dome light in 64-65 cars

    I was at dinner with Kramer the other night and no luck and he doesn't know of one that can be bought. I think I got the last good one for another car I did and that one came out of another car and was a miracle that it did not rip during install
