Impressive. Who did the plating? Did they also prep and fill scratches and blemishes on the aluminum as part of the process?

FYI - noticed body work in these areas. Added these on mine to stiffen, never liked how much the metal flexed. Make sure the fit is matched before tightening down, read a post once where guy saw it distorted metals when he tightened it down door handle. No telling if it was an issue with his...

Random part post. This arrived today. Test fit. Maybe this weekend I’ll get a chance to make some brackets. Then I can route and measure the hoses. “Power steering cooler”. Little black plate cooler on the left. It isn’t much wider than it is tall.

Last week I was looking for something random six pack related, and just because popped up in my mind I did a search for a part I have been looking for off and on for about the last six years. K&N E-3840 And someone who is in one of the 67-69 Barracuda Facebook groups had one for sale on...

For my '68 I used Krylon 1403 Dull Aluminum to emulate the light argent.

A lot of chaos in my world the last fifteen years. Back to slowly picking at it. Right now at a point where I have to make my own parts.

Simplifying the design, making them more affordable.

More prototyping. Header flanges. Port cross section: plastic prototypes: May actually get these made soon, machine shop has the STEP file.

Belt system for power steering and water pump sorted. Need to get brackets made now. These are 3D SLA plastic prototypes. Concept in CAD (before a few refinements):

Maybe too tight? I wonder if something flexes at load. Serpentine belts tighten on one side at RPM. That is why they should really be designed with a true tensioner. I had a buddy that put one on his 350 Chevy back in the early 90's without a tensioner and it bent his water pump first time...

Yeah, when it is 105 with 80%+ humidity and someone pours out a bucket of slag and the air temp goes to 140+ it is brutal, just hang there in your harness for a minute with the heat soaking through you, then you feel the humidity roll back in. Back to work. Was glad when we finished that tower...

I spent a month or so building a cooling tower next to the steel mill in Seguin in 1993. 100F+, high humidity, and every hour or so they would pour slag out on the ground near where we were working. That was special.

This part of my project should be coming up soon. Been thinking about how to go about it. Can get complicated quickly. Battery in trunk FAST XFI 2.0 MSD crank trigger / 6AL RFID push button start Fuel pump controller A1000 in tank pump Aftermarket AC system Cruise control Mercedes fan and...

Concrete comes later? Seen them built both ways. Don't know why. Around here I always see slab first.

Bring piston to top dead center, measure how far down in the hole. Then need to look up piston to get dish (or measure). Need compressed thickness and bore of gasket (published by gasket mfg). Need measured volume of combustion chamber. Then it is all math from there. Anything else is...

waiting on availability for upholstery shop. test fit gauge cluster.

you and me both

Glovebox door; installed all the hardware, freed up the latch. Fit the dash pads to see how it would look

Heat index this afternoon hit 103, so where was I? In the garage. Printed a template to use for guiding the cut and trimmed a hole in an old broken bezel as a test. Fit the control panel prototype. I really like how it has come out. Next step is to work up the courage to cut the new...

Same guy that did the finish prep and paint on my car, so he is pretty good at this stuff.

Added AC vents to the dash. Had the paint and body guy do some work on the dash frame and paint it. Will need to trim the pad a little for clearance, will be getting the pads redone also. Side view of driver side vent without pad Need to widen the “ashtray” opening on the pad slightly...

How does the application work? Do you have to send pictures and details?

what I am working on the past few days. Final product would be polished aluminum and either paint or powder for the argent and black painted areas. Here is the CAD drawing of the AC control panel: Here is the 3D printed plastic prototype, painted with markers, sitting in front of the dash...

Love, absolutely love the color. And the newspaper box is awesome!

You want the engine oil temperature to come up quickly, the advantage to using a cooler in the radiator is that your engine thermostat will help that along. I am plumbing an external air cooled oil cooler on my car but it has a 205F thermostat that bypasses 90% of the flow when the temperature...

Does it come with a spacer to put the filter down lower also?

'67 had VIN on pillar, '69 on dash frame; so maybe they swapped the dash itself.

That looks like a '69 dash frame. And those look like '69 fenders? The damage you are referring to, is it just the header panel and radiator support? Does it look like the inner fenders have been replaced?

I remember sitting inside my engine bay working on my '58 Apache 235 six. Yeah... not a V8 A-body thing, much less 440 or the 426 for sure.

What does that one look like, curious. I assume you will adapt the console or build one for it. I have a 2005 1500 with an Ecodiesel and the 8 speed auto. It has the rotary knob shifter with the +/- buttons on the steering wheel. I like the idea of the shifter, but would have been cool with...
