We're going to have a number of Hemi cars here on Wednesday including a 1965 Plymouth Satellite with a 605 Hemi Engine!

This is a wheel stander and we've been given permission to let Frank make it sand on it's back wheels.

The Plymouth Satellite has a car cover on it and is on a lift so here's a few pictures of what I could take quickly...

Starts in April, we're shooting episodes for the TV show tomorrow, that's when Frank will be with us.

Today we're shooting 13 one minute product features for Meguiar's.

Plymouth can't make it, have a Supercharged Camaro coming in instead...
