Hopefully this time it will continue...... engine rebuild

[mopar thunder]

Update..... the shop and I had a good conversation. We worked out 2 lists... 1 - what needs to be done to finish the car and 2 - what my wish list is to finish the car. My budget is so badly blown we'll see if it all gets done or if I just pick it up and finish it myself. But they have already dropped the engine in and are supposed to hook up the transmission today.  They said they will be sending pics along the way so I will post as they come in. They said they can have it completed by the deadline - "As long as there are no major hiccups......" My worry is header issues.  Some fabrication may be needed. That might slow it down and can be expensive. I believe everything else should bolt back in.

Things are moving along then. Good luck, it shouldn't be too long now.

Great, it seems they are trying to meet your expectations and soon you will be

I blew my budget on my one and only build by 30k, that is unfortunately not a typo my friend.  We have all been down a similar road.  I dont think about numbers when I am driving, its all smiles.

Yowser, 30k?  Perhaps it is relative if your budget was over 200k.

It's hard to budget them these days. My last two cars I spent $20k (albeit Canadian) on "little stuff". By little stuff I mean not paint or body, not engine, not trans and not seat upholstery or carpet and not labour.
Front end parts, brake parts, exhaust, tires, parts plating etc.

I think they are really trying to meet the deadline. Here is a pic I got last night. The engine is in and hooked up to the transmission. We are moving forward for sure. Starting to get excited.

I had no idea of the costs.  At least Cuda Cody let me know beforehand yet I sent went buckwild on blowing the dough.

I am always excited to see good news for you mopar thunder!

A little more completed. We are on our way. Had to fab a few brackets though. Also came into an issue with my pick up dates and had to move it back 2 weeks.  Deadline is now end of Oct.

Progress is still progress

Working hard on it (sorry not a clear pic).  I was told that they might be ahead of schedule. Unfortunate thing is that they can't find a way for an air to air intercooler so I will keep her as is for now. I'll have to watch the Florida heat when I finally get it down here. Tick Tock the clock keeps moving.
