Look whats on its way! Talked with Tim from For Hemis Only today and he said the trucking co. just picked it up. I cant wait to see "my" first Hemi in person. By that I mean Ive never owned a Hemi before.

Damn! I'm jealous! 

[hotrod98]

Congrats. 

I'll never forget the day that I received my first hemi. It's a rite of passage for Mopar guys...and gals.

nice 426

[dads_69]

A Daytona clone with a 426 as well. Way cool. 
I was building a Daytona clone until 2 1/2 years now along with a 426. I waited 9 months for a Hemi block from Anch. Dodge here, it never showed up. One day after coming back home from the Dodge dealership, a friend asked me if I would ever consider selling my charger, I said yep, how much you got on you? He said $4600.00. I sold my clone right then and there after 5 years or working on it. Rear window was installed and deck lid mod completed with 70' fenders but no nose assembly.

Congrats on your build Brian.

Very cool. I know it's a 526 (per your sig.)....I was just wondering if you got a 426 block beefed up or got a new engine all together. Can't wait to see more progress Brian...that thing should haul ass!

[richRTSE]

Oh and its a 526 not a 426.

Wow, that's awesome Brian! You did add frame connectors, didn't you? Care to share any specifics about the engine? Can't wait to see this car done, looks great so far, love the white/red combo too.

From FHO "For Hemis Only" in Bewdley Ontario Canada....From what Ive been told they are the Premier Hemi shop. First hand experiance tells me that Tim Banning (owner" is a first class guy to deal with.
