71 Cuda Protouring build

[johnscudashop]

I added two gas lift cylinders for the trunk and made some new trunk hinges from solid 6061-T6 aluminum. The result is a much better trunk opening and closing

That turned out nice. Great work.

I extended the rocker and lower fenders ,I wanted to get rid of that unsitely flat spot and pinch weld when you look under the car. Now it looks more finished than what the factory did and helps hide the exhaust and transmission member when you look under the car

Let hope you never need to use the rollover bars. Looks great! Keep the tire side down. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Guys, I did some work around the drip rails, I wanted to hide the window channels from sight.

you gotta love the sheetmetal work to go through this. alot of innovation in there too. well thought out. nice work.

Thanks everyone... I wanted to close that gap between the radiator support and the header panel. I made a cover for some 6061 aluminum . I plan on adding the hood release and hood pop up spring

Nice work as usual.
My only question is why not mount the door plunger up by the hinge area. It would just seem to keep it cleaner when you open the door.

 

[moparleo]

Is this your home workshop ?

 

[johnscudashop]

Great ideas guys, Leo this this is my shop. Some more progress. enjoy

John, mortal sin in image #2. Looks like an angle grinder face down on the work table. Careful guys.
(great work otherwise.)

Wow I hadn't looked at this build. It is incredible so far. Impressive machine work. Your skills are unquestionable, just wow.

Some progress on the air box and shaker

 

[johnscudashop]

I am waiting on a 60 deg tube bend from Spectre to connect the air box tube to the shaker base

Very nice build.
Just read through it all.
Props to your machining ability. Definitely taking it to the upper levels.

Mike.

A little more progress. I mocked up a 3 speed wiper motor from a 03 PT cruiser. It wieghs 1 pound lighter than the stock wiper motor plus its much more compact. I also finished up the connection to the shaker
