What are You building right Now ?

[70chall440]

Trying to get the motivation to tune my EFI 6 pack Challenger, clean the shop, get back to building the Cuda... Too easy to put it all off but I am starting to feel the urge again so I am sure I will be back to it soon.

That 6 pack EFI looks freaking COOL!!!!   

[70chall440]

Yeah it is, I have 2 of them... a little bit of a learning curve getting it setup and tuned (still trying to figure that out). Completely changes the way the car starts and runs however. I don't think I will ever go back to a carb again.

All that said, not a cheap endeavor with lots of secondary effects; had to change the entire fuel system, ignition system, distributor, etc. Of course I could have don't it much cheaper if I didn't have to have the 6 pack version..

Well I am not working on a car right now but I am working on this, This is called a loom and it writes a logo in the fabric, ours is elastic. Its one of those jobs you never thought about but darn sure glad someone does it or you would be wearing your boxers around you ankles. I can put any name  or logo. The orange cords does the writing. 6 Space machine with 384 cords per space.

What's wrong with wearing your boxers around your ankles?

This literally made me laugh out loud!

This week I am in Memphis, helping out with some research at St. Jude's children's hospital.

2 weeks ago, I just finished building my house on a nice piece of acreage where I can eventually build a bigger shop.

Next week I will be back on my 70 Barracuda, test fitting and maybe firing up the 5.7 Hemi [emoji851]

Some more progress made on the Barracuda at the body shop.
























Moving along. New F/R valances, Door corners, some deck lid rust repairs still to go.
Will POR the entire floor inside.

Decided on Black interior sheet metal vs body color.

Should it be gloss, semigloss or satin through out?  Single stage or base/clear.
How did you do yours? Any pictures?

Car will be 2015 Viper Gunmetal Pearl Gray with matte or satin black wheels

[Cuda Cody]

No joke!     Man, that bodywork is looking great and going fast!!!!     

Moving along.

Anyone ever eliminate the vent opening in the cowl? Classic Auto Air AC System does not use outside air and blocks it off inside.
I'm thinking eliminating the grated opening for the vents in the cowl. Smoothed out would look really nice and also eliminate a source for collecting crap or leaks.

The windshield squirters would need to be moved but I think I can find late model little black squirters and mount them on the cowl like these.
Will fill the firewall holes too.

Wish I was building a car.  But I'm not.  This is what I'm working on.  I'm the general and I do all the work myself with a few employees and a couple sub contractors. 
It's about 6500 sq.ft. and is at 9500' elevation.  We had Elk in the driveway 4 days ago.  Deer all the time and bear's in the spring.  Bob cat and Mountain lion tracks once in a while.
I can see 4 different mountain ranges from my work site.  The Colllegiates, the Sangre De Cristo's, the mosquito's and the San Juan's. 
This is a basic engineered drawing of the home.  Roof to be Shake style tile, stone in most places, some stucco, fancy metal hand rails on deck railings, wood trim, etc. etc. 









This is currently Where I am at with the progress of this home.

      Impressive!!!!!

@cuda hunter  Is this a personal home or a customer?
What does it cost to build a home like that ? Just the house, not the land.

Not what is worth finished, but what someone would pay to have it built and what are your margins ?
