Nice work you taking orders on dash cluster love to have one for my challenger

A little work on the console. I made it from 18 gauge aluminum. It is still a working progress , but this is how far I got

 

[btceng]

Keep it coming!

 

[johnscudashop]

This is the console finished and ready to be covered in black leather. I just have alittle deburring and minor sanding. I made a plate which will be mounted in the parking brake area so I can service the brake cables ,ect

Rear license plate holder mods. Took care of that aweful gap around the license plate. I had to make a new license plate light because the stock one wont work with the mods. I made one from aluminum with LED lights.Was a bit of work but worth it.

Really nice looking looks likes it's going to be a beast! Looks well thought out! Did you have a set list of what you were going to use, prior to starting, my 70 Cuda started out simple, I wanted headers and a vintage air system, but due to the BS the previous owner told me it has become a whole different car that's still not completed! Best of luck!

Well I hope a good little sleeper. I plan on the car being triple black with black trim and a black hockey stick stripe. I had to cut the floor board because the headpipes hit. This was caused by the driveline angle ,which I changed to 1 deg as opposed to 3 deg. I didnt want to tweek the TTI pipes as they are a tuned system.

This is an awesome car your building here. I'm doing a 70 Challenger prostreet car with lots of mods. I'm looking to fabricate a 3rd brake light into a T/A spoiler. Any idea what I might use for that light that would fit inside and not be to big. I've looked at different cars and not found anything yet. Keep up the great work. AWESOME JOB

 

[moparleo]

Are you talking about mounting in the spoiler or on the package shelf? Get yourself some red LED lights. Very small yet powerfull. You might check the bone yards for third lights that came on some of the Japanese made cars with the third light in the rear spoiler.
