I know that I have not updated the thread lately, but it looks like the weather is finally breaking and spring is here, so I am hoping to get back out in the garage and get back to work on the car. I did go to the machine shop the other day to check on the progress of my Hemi engine and he has not started on it yet. This would have been a bad thing, but unfortunately I had an incident with my truck that caused me to have to use some of the funds I had put aside for the Hemi build. A blowout on the left front tire of my diesel Ram,to re out the plastic inner wheel well and the three feet of tread that peeled off the tire tore out the fuse box and wiring harness, basically destroying an otherwise bulletproof truck! While I plan on getting it repaired and back on the road, I had to buy another truck. So the delay at the machine shop has allowed me to almost completely put the funds back together to continue with the Hemi engine build. Keep in mind that if you have a Dodge ram that a blow out on either front tire can completely disable your vehicle. The computer is on the right side, and the fuse box is on the left side. The plastic wheel well will not protect those components in the event of a blowout. I was going 65 mph on the highway when it happened and fortunately no one was injured.
