Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Today I picked up the newly milled brake/clutch cylinder mounting plate. Doug (my buddy from Seward) called me yesterday to tell me it was finished. I was amazed that the aluminum had shipped so quickly from across the country and even more amazed that Doug finished the work on it as soon as he did. When I asked him what we owed he said "we're good, as much as you've helped me out, consider it paid for". WOW!! I don't think I've done all that much for him. I guess it's good to be friends with someone that owns a Bridgeport.
While I was at his place I checked out the progress on his Coronet. He's been working on the installation of a Vintage Air system in it and I thought I'd see if I could get any pointers from him that would help us avoid running into problems. The guy is super meticulous about detail.
When I got back home I went to work on the Charger's firewall. After cutting the section back out that we'd made for mounting the plate from Wilwood, I used it as a template for the hole I was going to have to make in the new section we were going to have to use for the mounting plate Doug had milled. It didn't take long to cut the opening where the plate was to be. Then I used transfer punches to mark the bolt holes and started drilling. I might have gotten it done tonight but a few friends stopped by to visit and I got sidetracked.
