I tried to search but I just found a preliminar test I did. The final result is better than this picture... but I think I gonna have an idea.

I came back home and restarted dodge work

First I worked on a friend panel. I did have a big hole stead of stereo format.

I welded some plastic to fix it, now I have to paint.

 

[RPMLegends18]

perfect, thanks for the picture. It looks real good. Did you have to install resistors for the LEDs?

Yes, I use 1 resistor to each led. I think I use 440 Ohms resistor.

I was cutting sheet metal do produce my dart floor pan using a thin "knife" and beating it against the metal...

My neighbors complained about noise .. they have total reason... a lot of noise in my apartment.

So I decided to make a sheet metal cutter.
I found this plan in the Internet..

so I started to build mine today.
It is a bit different, but I think it will work. The worst thing was to drill the two pieces of springs. They have a very hard and strong iron!

Ola! I'm enjoying this thread and your ingenuity in making do with what you have.

Those Brazilian Dodges are very nice. In Australia we had a very limited production run "Mexicana" 1970 VG hardtop which had the same "swooped" C panels as your Chargers. Chrysler Australia obviously borrowed from Brazil for that one.

Keep up the great work!

Oi (hello).. thanks for your messages. All comments I read encourage me a lot.

Do you have more pictures of this Australian Chysler? I enjoyed the front "sun protector". You may send private message if you have more aex.borges at gmail.com
Thanks in advance

Sure Alex, a few more pics here (cannot send direct to your private email as I am presently at work). The sunvisors and rear venetian blinds were common on Aus. Valiants.

 

[sydcuda]

Couple more pics....

I can't believe the job you are doing with what you have to work with, great job on that cluster, keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming.

At the moment my biggest problems are space and time. I have a few tools and a good brain but I have to work a lot in my studies. I'm finishing my thesis. Writing it at the moment and it take me a lot of time.
Moreover, I live in a small apartment. 2 rooms, an small office where I work during the day and a service room (where my wife gently let me do my dodge work).

I intend to move to a house. I'll buy some more tools. I want a small plasma cutter and a small Mig gas welder. I bought on harborfreihgt a small tig welder but I don't have space to place argon cylinder... also don't have pratice with tig (just with mig that I don't have yet).

I sent my seats to be recovered.. Last year I started to rebuild it and now I have to check everything.

First, notice that seat recliner isn't in good shape. (pictures 1 and 2)

Thus, I decided to disassemble it and rebuilt. Have to weld and check "gear" if is ok.

To disassemble, follow picture 3 to the end.
First, take off spring protection. Two screws only.
Them you must pull off spring. If you're afraid, don't be. But if you're really afraid (as I was), just drop an old shirt, jeans or any other cloth over the spring. Use a screwdriver to force the spring.
I missing an important thing. After I pull off the spring, I saw some bushings and a nut like part. Pay atention on picture 6.
At the end, drink a light beer.. (Bavaria is one of the most light beers in Brazil).
