You guys were sure right. Both of you suggested
I contact Dan. I dropped him a note in the mail,
and he called me last night. We chatted on the
phone for about half an hour, and I learned more
about the little Dodge hemi in that thirty
minutes than I could have by searching every book
in the Barnes and Noble book store. He's a
really nice guy and filled in a lot of blanks for
me. Helped me understand that some of my ideas
were good, and some were no-no's. I now have my
plans mapped out and will begin putting the
little hemi together soon.
