been doing that just want more HP out of the old car, and be leave it or not that is the factory paint on all but 1 fender and some of the left 1/4 and the tail stripe. Not sure what to do with her yet, the factory sun roof I got working and in good shape. I would like to put on a new vinyl top and not sure of what color yet.
Looks like your doing good, I see no better way to mark and cut but never did what your doing.
Dartguy that is georgous. Did you purchase the tunnel or fab it yourself? Mine turns out 1/2 that nice I will be thrilled. If you purchased the tunnel let me know where that would save me quite a bit of work and frustration! Thanks guys
It made it myself. Pretty easy just make some cardboard templates and transfer it to sheetmetal and start bending a little at a time. I did 2 pieces because it was a lot easier
Fair enough! As you can see I am the master of cardboard templates. I typically am working with Stainless and it is as unforgiving as an X Wife! Cardboard saves the day. I went to your photo gallery and was amazed at how nice your car has turned out. A thing of beauty for sure. I too went with the HDK front rack and pinion. Denny has been a wealth of knowledge and super easy to talk to. I am a long way from done and your car gives me hope!
You are correct no torsion bars
Yes Denny is a great guy to deal with. I’m sure your going to have a very nice ride when your done. Thanks for the compliments on my car.
Thanks. I am running a Hemi Denny k member
I can attach a picture of my Cuda dash I just did not want to get flamed for the E body picture on this Forum. I made my own dash for the Cuda out of some 16 ga SST inserted a dakota dash and used painless toggles kit. Cuda is a purpose built track car, roll bar, fiberglass snout etc. I think she is beautiful but the purist cringe at a Cuda set up for drag racing. It is a hoot to take to car shows toss the steering wheel on the dash and walk away. I put a Megasquirt 3 kit on it this last offseason, it is a stroked 440 putting out right at 630 HP on just under 3,000 pounds spooled 433 on cal tracks. Handful to drive but launches hard and straight. She is in my signature photo. Notice no headlights no grill etc. pure beast! Send me a PM if you like and I will send some pix of the dash. Even dash is fiberglass.
Lets see pics of all of it !
Anything for a fellow Okie! My family is all from Talequah area, I am just up here temporary doing some fancy welding in SST. I look forward to moving back home to Ok. Let me get off work today and I will take a dash pix of Cuda.
Ok so my apologies in advance for pictures of an E body on this thread! I have got multiple requests for some Cuda pix so here you boys go. In addition I am posting some you might be a redneck if photos of me and the worlds best neighbor moving a 360 with a 727 on a cherry picker right down the road. My wife was simply shaking her head saying I know you boys aren't going to do what I think you are gonna do! Yep we did! Ya can't make this stuff up! Mopar or no car all the best to all y'all!
