Congratulations to Jeremy on his new house. Is it near you? Slowly getting the wagon back together, and I mean SLOWLY. Should be done before you.

He baught in Perth. Only 2 minutes from work. Henry, my bigest problem is ground clearance. I am going to slam the car as much as i can. It looks like TTI is the only nanufacturer making engine hugger headers with ground clearance for MOPARS. Very expensive. Looking at other options but it looks like there is no cheap solution.

Motor in, headers on with some problems but they look sweet. These TTI engine huggers are going to give me lots of ground clearance. Worth the extra spend on them. Tranny in, drivetrain hooked up. Dumps wired in. 3" exhaust on. Had some wiring problems but fixed now. Hood back on. Engine breakin in process. Two ten minute sessions done. Rollers are a little more tricky to break in. Have to check clearances to-morrow and do final break in run. Do road test on Wednesday to check for squeeks and rattles and tire clearances. Bumpers are being painted and should be back Thursday. So, July 1st should be the unvailing.

So, doing final break in run the engine was not running right. Found one faulty plug wire. Will have to order a new set to-morrow before final tunup. Looks like road test Thursday. Hopefully ready for Friday.

Congratulations on getting your new Cuda all done. It was nice to see it make a debut at Kanata the other night. Next time I will take a break and come check it out. How about some pics?
