Thanks Josh, I really appreciate it. Hope the GTX is coming along as well. Fury's getting put away in my garage for a while, I'm helping some friends with their start-up and will be traveling around the country extensively with little time to work on it :(

Yesterday marked a MASSIVE milestone in the building of the Fury, I now have 99% of the wiring complete and the dash and steering column are installed for the final time, so below are more pix showing the progress. The bezels for the various switches were in pretty decent shape but I had to...

Definitely making progress, though now that I'm doing final assembly as opposed to test-fitting, that progress is painfully slow! Regardless, I've been working on the car and will continue for another couple before I head out of town again, so here's a quick update. Except for two 120 amp...

I got back from my business trip and was met by my new Edelbrock Pro-Flo 4 FI set-up! After having used an Accel DFI system in the past I can't tell you how pleased I am at the quality of the Eddy kit, it's light years ahead of the Accel, though admittedly, Edelbrock did forget to include a...

Once I'd finished the basic shape of the receptacle I moved on to fabbing the "slider", which you can see in place below. The slider is where the spring-loaded "tongue" of the ashtray rides, and it's the pressure from the tongue pushing against the slider that holds the ashtray in place. The...

Been working on a bunch of different things on the Fury so I thought I better get the blog caught up. I used the same "Chrome" Rust-O-Leum paint on the bumpers I used on the gauge bezels, and I'm really happy with the appearance. No, I don't expect them to fool anyone into thinking they're...

Just a quickie post of trial fitting the finished gauge panel into the newly painted dash:

I've thought about using the glove box as well but doubt I'll do so since it's such a long reach from the drivers seat; my seats are set back 4"-6" compared to stock making for a REALLY long reach to the glove box. No worries, I'll definitely post whatever I come up with!

Thanks Dev! I'll be finishing up the wiring and moving on to some type of windshield defroster fabrication next; the recessed firewall doesn't have room for the stock heater box so I have to come up with something. Hope all is well!

Hey Bear, I had considered that kind of a set-up but am REALLY hesitant to cut the dash any more than I already have; the metal is very thin and difficult for me to MIG weld if/when I need to weld it and I don't have access to a TIG, so at this point I think I'm going to pass on "hiding" the...

Been taking some time working on other projects but did finish up the gauge cluster, so below are a couple shots. I'm really happy with the way it turned out and think it will look terrific when mounted. I spent a day stripping and refinishing the dash itself and painted it in a satin black...

Hey Mal, Got some serious plans when I get back from the trip, so hoping for some real progress. Really glad to see the body lines are supposed to be there, orherwise I’d have wondered about the way more than they’re worth.

Thanks for the info. For the shear reducrion in size and the ease of replacement (if/when necessary) I definitely prefer the Denso units, and if running a mechanical pump eliminates a tensioner between the alternator and thermostat housing then mechanical will be my choice, it will make for a...

Thanks Mal, always appreciate the support. LOL, you have to know you and I aren’t the only ones with SC’s whacky glass.

Absolutely, let me know when you're coming into town. Look forward to seeing you.

Thanks 7, it's been a bitch of a summer but I'm back on it. How's that stunning Charger, anything good going on lately?

Thanks Roger. You sold th car; did you pick up another toy?

So after all the work with hinges I've thrown in the towel and decided to go with 4 pins and no hinges; I just don't like how they were working. Oh well, it's all a process and this was just part of it. I put the engine/trans back in so I could mark the cut-outs in the hood. You can see, by...

I got to work on the Fury for one day and spent that day prepping and installing the new mounting pads for the hood. Nothing exciting but the hood mounts to the "stock" hinges and opens/closes with no issues or problems. Here are the 3/4" ply blocks mocked into place. One thing left to do is...

After trial fitting the hood it was time to fit the rad support and hood latch, which all went real well. After fitting the rad support and latch bar I moved on to dissecting the steel hood; I wanted to use the latch and bracing, so after drilling out a few (and I mean only a few) spot...
