----Steve,,,I just found out that a guy named Chuck Kurzawa did the welding job on that magnesium intake. He must have been some welder!!! Also, my friend Mark remembered a 68 Hemi Dart that looked very much like the one you had that was around the Detroit area prior to you owning it, but he wasnt absolutely sure.......Bill S

Chuck Kurzawa was pretty famous in the Detroit area as a Top Fuel owner and driver. Ron....
P.S. Bill, did he have anything to do with making parachutes?

Sad postscript - I believe this guy ported the heads on my LS7 in 1971 while at Diamond Racing. Apparently a genius of cylinder head flow and port work. R.I.P Mr. Elkins.
