What did you do with your ebody/Mopar today?

Well, after moving 5 cars/truck out of the way, disconnecting the charger and rolling up the cover, I crawled in the old gal and kicked her into life- always fun with no choke! Backed it out into the sunshine and cool blue skies, loaded mommy up and away we went. I'd thought to find a coffee shop, but it's Easter Sunday and everywhere was closed tighter than a democrat's mind. So we just cruised for an hour and ended up back home thirsty, but happy. Back to sleep with half a tank of gas gone.

Under car, out from under it, repeat repeat repeat.

I gave it an oil change and checked tire pressure. Ready for cruising season.

I made a new A-Body Dash Bezel out of an old A-Body Dash Bezel using a 2016 SRT Challenger Gauge Cluster.
I carved up one of my 69 Barracuda Rallye Dash Bezels and grafted in a 2016 Challenger Digital Gauge Cluster.
I used some ABS and J-B Weld plastics to build up the new surround. Lots of test fitting and grinding, sanding, repeat... Now it is just in primer but getting close to a finished product. Still a couple more mods needed for mounting into the dash frame.
This goes with our 6.1 Gen3 Hemi 69 Barracuda Fastback with 8HP70 8-Speed project car.
Cluster wiring harness and programming support is from Sound German Automotive. It is sold as an addon to his PCS (Powertrain Control System) for the 8HP70. We are also using his Paddle Shifter with his hardware and electronics.
Russell Drake (SGA) is local to me, which is a bonus.











It fits!

Adaption doesn't get cleaner than that. Very nice.

A little ABS and some J-B Weld plastic, then sand and fill and prime and some paint.

Thanks Brad, the paint is Eastwoods wrinkle paint. Been on a shelf for quite a while, don't think they make it anymore.
