Decided not to go to the garage today. Stayed home and worked on my own car. Didnt get as much done as I wanted this weekend. The mini-tub is done, minus being sealed and coated. Also started on fixing a rotted area in the sail panel area. Luckily I didnt have to get into the pocket for the...

@mosleyme very nice

This is the "water block" as I'm calling it for the 225. First time using SendCutSend's anodize feature. I'm happy with the result. Since I'm running a header, and there's a good possibility I'll be driving in temps below 50° F sometimes, I heard that I might freeze up the carb if I don't get...

Looks awesome.

Today was short bloxlck assembly day for the 225. I wasn't planning on having to rebuild this engine. You know the story. "It's been rebuilt, it's ready to drop in." Far from it. Well the car wasn't even ready to have the engine dropped it. It was originally a 318 car. But, that's non-mopar...

Couple of cheap shots of the dash insert that I'll be putting the 3D printed guage cluster into. Needless to say I forgot a few things. Notice on the left near the curve in the dash pad, forgot to arc that. And how about those switch holes. Way too low. Anyway reworked it in CAD and...

I have that extension in Fusion that can similate loads on the material. If you want to sent it to me I can give it a run this weekend.

If you add material type to your compenents in Fusion 360 it will give you weight, density, etc. You can even run some kinematics on it to see what kind of load it will sustain.

That's a great idea on stacking the plates and welding them into one unit. Ever think if adding a few extra offset/varying holes in each plate to add a few rosette welds in between each piece to give it a little more grab? I like the lower ball joint bolt pockets. Eliminates a wrench, that's...

Thanks. I dont think Im going this degree of wacko on the Cuda. That CAD model of the Coyote was from either GrabCAD or STL finder and it's pretty accurate to the measurement I took from the back of the engine I had. I dont know if they have a Gen 3 Hemi, but Im sure theres got to be one out...

Heres a few more:

I was building a mid engine tube chassis for a 240sx road race car. I used a software package from Performance Trends to design the front and rear suspension in a double wishbone style as opposed to Macpherson strut. I did a very basic design of a modular type upright that used 370z wheel...

Thats a dt-15 variation from TE Connectivity. Ill be getting that from Mouser. The relays are Panasonic 70amp PCB mount automotive relays. Im gonna be using potting compound to fill it all in, and that's also going to be a nylon/carbon 3D print. My cousin runs the 3D printers and i do all the...

Ha. Its a short thread. I've also used Laser Bros on occasion. Also in the process of making a 3 relay solid board to control 3 fuel pumps on my cousins road race car. Using SendCutSend to burn the copper bus bars. Ive always had good results and service with them.

Have not been as busy as I'd like to be on the car, but its moving along. After a few test pieces and some measuring I did a CAD model of the the way I want to set up the gauges. SendCutSend is cutting the insert out of .125" thick 5052 alley and I'll be 3d Printing the gauge pod out of nylon...

I've got the 489 case in a fixture on the workbench. Waiting to finish off backlash and the pattern. The adjusters I have are little wonky, so about 20 minutes ago I ordered a new set from Mark Williams. It completely escapes me as to why I have no pics of the build process of the chunk. I...

Space truckin'

Thanks. Looks like 1 and 1.

Im still looking for a driver side tail light lens that's fitting for this build. So while that adventure continues so does the rest of the build. It's crazy how tough some of the parts are to find compared to 15 years ago. That's the joy of motoring in a 55 year old car. One of the big...

Did a little bit of work on the steering column. Used a bearing from Bergman in place of the OE style bushing. This column was a little rough when I pulled it, and you aren't imagining things, I had to take a little bit off the bottom of the housing. It was rusty beyond repair. It also doesn't...

This is cool.

I decided I'm not trying to keep up with appearances on this build. It's obvious that at some point in time this car had some surgery done on the front. Both inner fenders were definitely replaced, the welds are not pretty, but neither is the rest of the car. There's also been work done forward...

Took apart the right front side of the suspension apart. The primer/undercoat/primer theme from some previous owner continued there, as well as in the engine compartment. Tossed the LCA into the parts washer after removing the pin, bushing, and shell. Surprisingly enough most of the undercoat...

Thanks. I like a notch a little better

Thanks!

After 11 years of not having a Mopar and a short run on the dark side (imports), I bought another 68 Barracuda. At first I thought it was my old car. Back in 2012 I sold one in about the same shape I bought this one in. Originally a 318 car. I don't think the 2 previous owners knew too much...

Man! That looks awsome. Good motivation to all us guys sanding our lives away right now.
