I don't know if you are a religious person or not but if I were you, I would tow the Car to my local place of worship and have the Minister or Priest come out and give it a blessing. .Believe it or not I had a friend who had this done to a possessed Dirt Track Car and he had no worse than average luck with it after that!!

I don't think the car is cursed, it's just a car.

The learning curve with a PSI blown hemi is very sharp. It usually makes a lot of sense to get a experienced tuner to help you get started with one of those combos, your money way a head to get tuning assistance.

I bet Jimmy would agree with me now.

Plus a car is much harder to deal with than dragster. When a fire happens with a dragster there's less to catch on fire because the engine is toward the rear.

Good luck with your new car, I saw one of your post where you built a new 4X4 frame, you can handle the work yourself.

Why don't you tackle the body work and determine your own outcome?

I use to work at a restoration shop, but I cannot paint at my house and I am currently building the Willys Wagon for Tom.

I agree and we were creeping up on it. At the level we were playing it was very expensive and things break.

As much as I miss the car I am happy to say that all the time that I am spending with my kids has been very rewarding and wouldn't change in return for the car. The car is in good hands and I hope he really enjoys it as much as I did.
