I have heard the name before but I thought that I would put this out there to see if anyone remembers this one? Daryl, any chance the quarter damage is the same as your Dart? Looks like the name is Ron Preer's

Mark.... You haven't abandoned ship.... Welcome back my friend.
That Dart was posted awhile back & I hadn't seen it before this pic. either. Know nothing of this car. I doubt it's mine tho due to damage. See pics below.
The damage on my car is P Side right above the wheel opening, & it looks to have been caused from being twisted, ie: quarter not reattached properly to outer wheel tub after Hurst cut the opening. Hennesey confirms my suspictions in one of our conversations back when, telling me he had to have the car straightened on a frame jig when he got it.
The drivers side quarter & door are undamaged. Pic is not that great, but therre isn't any repair work done on the outside or inside of the DS quarter or door, even today.
