Wonder when Mopar will release these six pack intakes for the Hemi's. :dunno: :drunk:

Do you build your own engines as well Dave?  I wouldn't be surprised with everything else you can do.  That HEMI would be awesome in your Chally.  In fact build me one while your at it! :burnout:

Yes we do all our own engines ,trans and rear axles. But we have never done a Hemi. I was looking at a FHO engine also, but I have been so busy that the final decision on the engine is not made yet.
I seal primed the car yesterday and will start the final sanding today, it looks like color a week from Saturday :woohoo:

Hey Dave that thing in the bachground is the Mopar performance semi trailer and the engine was on display at Mopars at the strip.  I found the picture and kept it for reference sake. :2thumbs: You should also look up Azzura for your Hemi needs as they do excellant work from what i have read. :drunk:

Well after about 6 hours of painting it's done, :woohoo:
I'm sorry the pictures are not the best, it is hard to get a good shot in the booth. There is just not enough room to get a good picture. These were taken about two hours after it was finish sprayed.
 Tomorrow if the sun is out I'll get some out door shots.
Next up will be wet sanding and buff then the fun stuff.... assembly :grinyes:

Looks great Dave!  I think you should consider moving your shop to central Nebraska!  I'd even help you move! :cheers:
