Made from T6061 aluminum that I machined into a Battery hold down... For my 65 Cuda.. Better then napping the days away as I have been doing of late...
I think it looks nicer, but will now polish it out a bit more when it cools down here in Arizona!
Stay safe out there my friends...

Cut the cancer out of the right side of my 05 Ram and got the new outer wheel house welded in. Also sized up the patch panel
Looks Good, looks like you used your auto body panel stepping tool to give strength and a lower area to place your new panel.
Warping is always a huge consideration on welding in something that big into the center of an existing panel. Spot weld and cool, spot and cool, jumping around so as to not get too much heat in one area.

Roger that. Did 1/2 quarters on my use to own 69 Fury 20 years ago, and bed sides on my son's 02 Ram a few years ago. Got the inch at a time stitch thing and move all over thing down... lol
That is going to make a nice truck with those box sides fixed up like brand new.
Beats the heck out of paying 40 to 50 grand on a new one.

I gave my car a 910 mile run down to Illinois for the 4th Annual FCBO show. Fell asleep at a friend's shop afterwards, then headed back home so I could work tonight. Felt longer than the thirty hours I was gone.

I removed the AC assembly temporarily while I get the engine going, and wanted to seal up the connectors at the bulkhead. Duct tape wasn’t good enough, I wanted a cleaner finish. Found some brass caps at the hardware store and I’m really happy with the result.
Now it’s time to decide where I want the tach and temp/oil pressure gauges mounted.

An 05 with that much rust.....I guess I will never complain about living in a desert again.
Either way, that is some fantastic work and good work maintaining another dodge in the world

Got a new Hobart Inventor welding helmet. Great time to try it out so I repaired a leak in the passenger side exhaust pipe. Now time to fire it up and take it for a spin!
Out for a drive, taking a right on Cedar Avenue.

Ditching weight where I can in the quest for as low an ET and MPH as I can get with the engine I have (before resorting to more drastic measures) while clinging to some semblance of stock appearances and minimalist creature comfort functions. In the process of replacing door glass, regulators etc. and going the old 68 Super Stock route with seatbelt webbing and snaps for raising/lowering the side plexiglass. Using Optix Green Edge (.177” thick) as when finished it looks just like tempered glass (and more rigid than .125” poly/plexi) but still with a reduction of slightly more than half the weight. Bent up some .063” aluminum for improvised window clips and sourced some bulk 2” seat belt material. Just waiting on some belt line and channel weatherstripping to arrive then reassemble. This phase (along with other minor mods) will yield about a 30lb weight reduction, with more planned.
