Good evening all,

I have been conversing with a couple of other members here and I'm thinking we would like to see some specific projects with which others are currently involved. I know a lot of you take your time to plan specific parts of your projects. Will you please share some of them? Some of us can get ideas, maybe see what kind of approach others applied, and then apply those ideas to our own projects, although I am very guilty of a short attention span and would probably go off on some tangent.
Anyway, please share some of your ideas. Here is my current project, 727 Billet aluminum pan, still in the works, from concept to completion. Well, almost. Headed off to the anodizer today.

Awesome pan brother :thumbsup:. what grade aluminum did you use for the pan?
 
Nice little mould. And the filter support is awesome. I'm going to make one of those. The pan is made from 7075.
 
I’m big on drawing stuff in Bend Tech, and having that cutout at the laser shop so I can multitask while that design is being prepped.

Here’s one of the mid-chassis crossmembers.

Cool pan and so are the others. Had planned on making my own filter cannisters that would accept an over the counter element but that's probably not going to happen. Also, most of the parts I've made were for others and didn't take pics :( but do have some offset rear hangers that I made for a 70 Barracuda bracket car that were installed but the car was never finished due to someone offering me stoooopid money for the body back when they weren't bringing stoooopid money. Why I still have them is beyond me lol.

The offset was a little over 2 1/4". The leaf springs were moved against the rail and the offset hangers also made them straight instead of being splayed.

That’s a huge offset.

Dash insert. I always loved the sweeping speedometer, and was able to save it, but the rest of the gauges were evidently cleaned with acetone and sandpaper, so I made it my own. Mopar "M" for blinkers was cut with wire EDM.. Now covered with carbon fiber hydro dip.
 
Here’s the pan, after anodize and finish machining, installed.

I drilled a hole in the frame rail then put the front hangers dead against it. Also wanted the springs to be straight with the body instead of being splayed like they come stock on the E cars so the offset had to be that much to get what was wanted.
 
Wow, talk about some beautiful work and from all of you!!!
