I'm should be putting mine together in March. Got a link or e-mail on how he told you to fog it?


Hey TC, sorry bud, can't seem to find it but just give him an email, he'll explain it. Awesome to hear you're getting a FHO, Tim is the best, he's very OCD, if it's not right, it's not right and won't leave his shop regardless if there's a show on, SEMA or a local $1 entry fee show lol



which car is that going into ??


Dad's 1973 Plymouth 'Cuda, has the XV stiffening and all body work done, just deciding on paint. Below is an older image prior to it's nice "peach" colored epoxy coating, will be a custom (not original looking). The guy who did the body work is oldschool, all led and time, no shortcuts.





Thanks lads! :cheers:

Thanks guys, its not the biggest Hemi out there nor the most powerful but I can't wait for the day I can crank it over and here it sing! TC - No coolant coming out. We de-fogged it as per Tim Bannings instructions around 18 months ago and crank it over every month to keep it fresh. Hopefully before the end of the year we'll have it running.

Thanks TC, but that's the beauty of Tim Banning, he breaks them in for you, tops up oil, dynos them, makes sure everything's AOK then once he's happy sends them out. Add wires and crank it over you're ready to floor it. ;)
