I actually regret bad mouthing Dan D. However, I'm still very angry over what he tried to pull on me. I have something he wants, and he lied to me so he could steal it. He offered me a 50/50 deal, but not on paper. When I refused to send him a copy of the product (because I was warned not to trust him) he went crazy and started calling me names like a spoiled little child does! Then he told lies about me to one of my business associates! Totally unprofessional! I spent two years of research, and I have been ripped off in the past on a hand shake from a greedy liar, but never again. I know all about his drag racing records...his health problems...and his other misfortunes, but his real problem is in his head! He can deal with engines, but he found out that he has poor people skills. He is trying to change, but he blew it with me! He may have done some good for other people, but all I hear is negative things, and he sure backed it up with this recent performance! I'm done with him! Whew! Now I feel better!

Do your home work before you decide who is going to be handed your hard earned cash. Even if you do your home work and everything looks right with the person you choose it does not mean a good job will be done. My first motor, I picked an Alky funny car guy to do then build. Big mistake he said he did this in the build and I asked him to do other things but after hurting the motor I found out some things were not done. After taking it back so he could see the problems, I got nothing but it was my fault, that I abused the motor. The next motor I built and it is still together. Now after building a Hemi motor and looking over all the machine work others did for me and doing all the assembly myself, I have learnt just how much work it is to build a Hemi. The next motor that is coming up to be built I am choosing someone that has experience and loves to do this stuff and has a great name building hemis. Luckily I have a guy really close to me with a super reputation and has done Hemi Head work for be before. Good luck on your build and enjoy the beasty when it is put back together.

I just happened to run across this thread, so first I'd just like to thank everyone that recommended me for Steve's project. Your vote of confidence in my abilities is humbling, Thank you. I have a number of customers from the same area as Mr. Haines. I don't know him personally and it's probably best that I comment no further than that. Steve, if you haven't made up your mind on a machine shop/ builder yet please give me a call @ 561-758-6604 I'll be happy to discuss your project in detail. We do all of our machine work in house and have one of the most up to date machine shops in the state along with a dedicated clean room for engine assembly. If you've already chosen a builder, I wish you the best of luck with your project.

Throw in a crate and ship it to Tim Banning @ FHO near Toronto, Canada. He will fix it up for you the right way.

Hi Dan! (that is if you came back to this read post) Yes, you are very popular on this site! Congratulations on your quality work and success! I will get off my rear end (Dana 60 rebuild) and call you today! It is very difficult for me to let my expensive hemi parts out of my sight, and here is why...Over the last five years I have been trying you get my car painted, and it has been a nightmare of epic proportions! My car has been to five...YES! five paint shops, and I have lost over $25.000.00 and almost lost my car due to a bunch of rip-off artists! The price is so high because I am so trusting and now I suppose mostly stupid too! The fifth painter did a great job on the body, but missed a lot of spots with the base coat, and really messed up the clear. It appears that he is not going to fix his mistakes, so I will be throwing even MORE money at the painting of this car! I shrug and continue with my life-long dream of owning a hemi car. The Hemi Haines mystery is puzzling and intriguing to me! How can a guy build so many hemis since 1983 and go unnoticed?! Unbelievable! My post has well over 1200 replies and I only came up with two possible leads! All those hemis had to come from somewhere! Hmmm...maybe Mr. Eddie "HEMI" Haines does not want any notoriety! Oh well, we may never know! I guess I'll call you now....DAN!!!! HEY DAN!!!! DAN, WHERE ARE YOU???! Oh crap! It's happening again! I must be cursed!
Steve, My shop is located at; 1364 Gwenzell Av. Suite A Delray Beach, Fl. 33444 Ph.# 561-758-6604
Give me a call at your convenience.
