Congratulations Johnathan. It's a real work of art with excellent craftsmanship.

I just spoke to Dave at Mopar Engine's West today who built your engine.
I e-mailed him earlier the youtube link. He was like a proud father. He recalled you immediately.
He said congratulations for me to tell you.

Thanks guys!
Unfortunately, while work has slowed on this project for me over the last several years, when I get to work on it, my attitude is a little different than it used to be.   In the beginning I really tried to be really getting everything exactly right.  That was because I had the time.  Anymore, I want to just get the car on the road, then go back and refine it.   My work sessions are usually short and limited by my other responsibilities.  It makes it really easy to get frustrated when you can't get your goals done in the time you have or when things don't go right during those sessions.   :pullinghair:
There are several new products that have come out, especially those dealing with suspension and the electrical system, that I would love to upgrade later.   There are things about the body I know I need to go back and tweak as well.   That being said, I really appreciate the good comments, but I know it isn't exactly where I ideally would like it to be.  But one day hopefully it will!  Hopefully when I get to those things my oldest daughter can start getting involved too.  :bigsmile:

Mike,
     The guys over at MEW posted on my FB announcement too.    They are some good cats.  :cheers:
     I appreciate the pass along from Dave as well.   Those kinds of things make you realize how small and connect the world really is or can be.
