Working on a buddy's 1968 Charger. When mounting the rear bumper it's insane trying to reach the body to bumper bracket bots/nuts. Enough of that crap! So I made the nuts captive so you don't need a wrench, just tighten them from the inside of the trunk.

Huge thumbs up on simple items such as that.

I'm just blown away at yal's skills.   
I'd like to buy every one of those parts. 

I have a picture of the rear interior b pillar covers that are usually card board that Bart made out of metal with an english wheel.
When I find it i'll post it up.

Here is some of the plenum I have started. Baseplate started as a 1" thick block. It mounts a Ford TB. Also some of the piping iterations I have been trying to sort out.

I really enjoy watching Ifixmycarmyself videos on youtube. He is a true inspiration!! I'll probably hang a couple of repro fenders but sure plan on repairing mine after watching him! :wrenching:  8)  :twothumbsup:

I have the intank pump set up from Tanks Inc to replace my current electric fuel pump . I made this to go in place of the pump so I don't have to make another line..... and so I can always go back if I ever want to?

gas tank mounts, used the gas tank mount for the electric fuel pump also.
cut out trunk floor and installed a "laying around" metal bar to hold the back of the tank.
then you can see the filler neck that goes around the frame rail on the drivers side.
and the 40ish gallon tank that we put in that was out of a dodge van 92 as I recall.

this car was my very good friend's car.  I helped him do a ton of the changes on the car over the years. Now it's mine and I have to go through and try to make some of these mods look and function better. 

And I totally understand that all of these mods do not look anywhere as cool as you guys's mods.  but this is what we could do with what we had.  back in the nineties and early 00's.

And a sledge hammer was used for the inner fender well modification to fit the big block in. 
I don't think I can fit headers in there.  so I'm using an ebody passengers side exhaust I believe.

My father-in-law helped me make this part yesterday.  It's a trim ring for the bottom of a Tuff Wheel adapter. It helps transition from the large diameter adapter to the smaller 68 Abody steering column.  I started out with a 5x5 piece of 1/2" aluminum.  We cut out the center hole on a mill.  Then we turned down the outside to size.  Finally, we angle cut the piece to make the transition.  I still have to do some hand sanding but this is really going to look good!







Here's how the column looks without the transition ring.


...with the ring installed.
