     :clapping:  :clapping: Yes, to see a finished body and paint is like looking at a piece of art, it's a quieting (is this a real word?) tranquil moment. BUT, when you fire off that built up Mopar thunder of an engine and let her roar (especially straight out of the headers) it will give you a "climax" of great magitude. Clown, I can hear it now.........I just experienced that feeling not too long ago, that same moment with the 440, way to go Mopar bud, you did good !  :woo:  :woohoo:
