Funny the words sounded like "I have been really busy this month and couldn't get it done before you picked up the RC, but when it slows down I will weld it up and ship it out", when I was standing there in front of you counting cash out.

If you had not promised to finish that intake up I would have just grabbed the un welded parts you showed me at your shop and had a friend weld them up for me.

Glad you are LOL'ing...I was not.

Hey Ollie,
No matter what Wheelieking or you have had happen between you's, you came out the big winner on that deal, regardleas. I've seen that ride in person, and its by far one of the best examples of Dodge that" should have been "in the world.

You have one sweet ride there, my friend.

I agree with the wise NJTman. That RC you built is a fine piece of machinery.

Thanks guys.
I was pretty sour for a while with some of the things that went down, but I decided two years ago to just work past the issues, fix them myself and make the project happen. That is when I "threw down the gauntlet" changed the name of the project to The Gauntlet and starting fixing problems one at a time.
It was great driving the RC all over the North East last summer. It came out so well, I want to build another 12V Ramcharger, this time a 2wd '78.

If anybody wants the truth message me, and I will FWD the response I had typed up to put here.
But, I'm going to take the high road. Don't believe everything you read on the internet folks. The truth can be clear as mud.

Moonshine looks freakin' killer and I am soo happy to see you finished it! Kudos for that anyways.
And, your relationship with your daughter. This world needs more of that.
