I'm sure somebody else can do that too.
My former boss has (bought new) a 1992 Dodge Spirit R/T...maybe ten years ago, it was creamed in the passenger side by a GMC Top Kick oil truck. The entire passenger side was spliced together from a junked Plymouth Acclaim, it has no original glass (all from the Acclaim), the only untouched original metal is the LF fender and the driver-side doors. It drives like a new car. (Note: it only has 58,000 miles.) It aligned perfectly, the tires wear evenly, all panels line up (judging by the pile of body shims it no longer needs, it's straighter now than it was new!), it tracks perfectly straight even at triple-digit speeds.
I love that people like your boss exist in this world.
That is an awesome and rare car, and I am glad he spent the time and was willing to get the car back to like new condition again. He is a guy I can relate with, that is for true.
You should post pics of that beast if you have any.
