You are absolutely correct Firebird, Mopars have always had a high price of admission. As far as building a Hemi (1st or Second Gen) there is no way around digging deep to do it. Matt was being quite literal with his roller rocker comment.

Matt I totally agree about the looks of HEMI. Even to the novice car guy who doesn’t know what a HEMI looks like they are visually an IMPRESSIVE looking engine.. …. to the HEMI owners out there, how many times have you heard the “so that’s what a HEMI looks like” comment?

I had recently come across this video of a 57 Plymouth and I guess it was in the back of my mind when I made my bragging rights comment. I’d followed the build of this car on another site. It started life as one of the 2000 or so 57 business coupes (6 cy, stationary back windows and no rear seat) Plymouth built in 57. It’s got a 55 331 and 4 speed and the guy did a beautiful job on it, I’d love to see it in person.

I think we’ve all come across “this guy” at a car event .
