Just a small update on Charlotte...
Its not like i haven't been doing anything but i swear I spend some weekends just going out the garage and sit there looking at her.
So here's where we're at. I took advantage of LMC's special in late may and got the FI Tech plus the $100 rebate. Nice. I also ended up following Advanced Design and DWSR and going with the 68-69 camaro tank. At first, I was going to go with the mustang tank but all in all i know i still going to have to fab up some kind of frame/cradle to mount it so why not get the camaro tank with the same amount of fab. I also got the block hugger headers from Speed Engineering out here in fresno. I like them but...(more on that later)
As reference, where credit is due regarding the camaro tanks:

So where am I at? I've got brake lines,but not installed check, got a tank, check, got a hydroboost, check, etc. The more i look at my frame mount brake/clutch bracket, i'm just not that excited by it. I think it sits too low and will really mess with the exhaust, but i digress, i'm not working on that right now.
So I figured the best plan was to start fabbing the mounts for the gas tank and i came to the realization that the x-member that came with the speedway kit is mounted a tad too forward, thank god for bolt in.
Anyway to make it right, i'm going to need to plug weld the holes i drilled earlier, but didn't have a decent copper spoon, until today! I give you the copper spoon made out of some scrap 3/4 in copper tubing and using the hammer and dolly kit i bought at the last good guys show swap meet!
To summarize. Holes have been filled. the spare tire x-member is out and flipped and the coil over x-member is at the correct 32in from the top bolt of the lower 4 link mount. (as per directions
)...and i have a new tool in my spoon!
Stay tuned...
