Much appreciated. That cowl is designed to *barely* clear that exact blower. The plan is to build an NA motor, but there's room for more if 750ish hp gets boring. David

Finished the cowl and added some detail to the firewall. The other side will have a similar profile with accommodations for steering shaft and hydraulic reservoirs. David

HPTuners is a common hardware/software used to make modifications to the OEM ECU, including tuning for cats. David

Car seems to move around pretty well. Congrats on the successful run. David

Took a bit, but I found a way this panel would flow. Tricky shapes, but fun to make. Each of these plates will gain a useful amount of interior space. David

Working on improving the internal cowl drainage and gaining some interior room for air conditioning and ECUs and maybe eventually, people. It’ll drain at the side similar to original. David

It seems like a lot of tracks have an inspection process for their open days. That will likely satisfy what I want to use the car for. Final model for now. Bend tech isn’t the easiest program, but I have enough info to order material. David

Very clever tool. I'm committing that one to memory. Car is looking great! David

Working out ideas for the upper chassis. This is how I spent my time recovering from the flu. Thanks, Orlando. I’m looking for that sweet spot where beam strength and torsional rigidity, space for passengers (dogs), and light weight overlap one another. Everything is .065 wall 4130, 1-5/8 and...

Going from memory, $5800 before freight in late 2023. Mine are raw, so the cleared and buffed versions are a little more. Assembly video: David

It's going to take some figuring, but I will absolutely share results. David

That stance is perfect. Are you doing the nascar fender cut, or keeping the long body line intact? David

Thank you. The car is teaching me a lot. A childhood of assembling general lee models has paid off, and my welding project has finally turned into a charger. OE truck fit check, and everything is gapped pretty well with just minor fitting of the rear deck filler panel. Front fenders...

Thanks man. Seriously, that's the hardest panel repair I've ever done. An AMD door skin would have gone a lot faster, but it felt good to save this one. I got these AMD tubs about 95% done before I was burned out on them. Picking them back up, I used the planishing hammer to fine finish the...

Bit of a catch up. I thought this door rust repair project would take a weekend plus a weeknight or three. It took a month. The car must have set under a carport. The driver side is in excellent shape while this passenger side must have taken on some rain from being at the edge of coverage...
