(You can also see the HemiCharger's new home about to start coming up in one of the pics also - poured concrete this morning!)

Next is the reason for all this... that big, bright orange hunk of a HEMI!  One pic while it's being painted, another one at near completion (always minor details to complete)... Exhaust system on it's way so we'll be setting it up on their engine stand shortly and cranking this baby up!

Moving along!!! We're tired of waiting on the a-pillar trim replacement pieces (we're supposed to be #1 for the prototype ones), so I think we've made the decision to just clean them out and fabricate them from scratch... gotta keep rolling along and get this baby in paint already!

Thanks guys... it's finally coming together - it's really going to be something in the next few weeks when we can get paint on and start assembly - pretty much EVERYTHING will be done and ready to go in when it gets out of paint... until then just gotta keep chugging along to get all the little things perfect in the mean time...

Probably going to plan a road trip this weekend before they start painting, so I'll get more pics up in the next couple of weeks... thanks again guys!

Another GREAT picture!  Today, for the first time in at least 25 years, the HEMI has gotten to breathe again!  What a glorious achievement!!!

In addition, the dash is completely assembled and ready to go and several other small assemblies are complete as well... just need to address the a-pillars, final blocking, and we're ready for paint...

Stay tuned!
