Nice build......like your work:

I know what it's like when people ask for a update....lol....i spend more time taking pictures and trying to remember to do updates then i do pulling wrench...lol

I was building a '69 Charger Pro Touring with coil overs and a 4 link..ran into some issues with life and had to put it on hold. I have tons of parts, just need to get off my butt too!

[Mechanic77]

Thanks guys! I've been slacking on the updates.....and on the truck for that matter

Here's a few pics I took a while back when I was cleaning shop (and it was nice outside)





I'll post some more pics of the little progress I have made in the next couple of days.

Alright, some update pics.....as promised

Rear wheel tubs widened 3", I haven't finished trimming the edges yet.....

[Mechanic77]

The stainless steel air tank I've been working on (off and on.....)

[Mechanic77]

I got my Vintage Air HVAC unit mounted (Compac)

Vintage Air control panel roughly mocked up.....may or may not use it

....and I got the air pressure gauges mounted in the dash

[Mechanic77]

Stainless seat brackets I'm working on......I'll post up pics when they're done

[Mechanic77]

And the tilt steering column from out of my old '84 C10 that I shortened 3.5", removed the shifter and lock cylinder, and moved the dimmer switch (sorry about the crappy pic)

closeup of the dimmerswitch and re-routed/re-bent push rod

bottom of the column also showing my prop-valve mounting and new master cylinder


That's all for now

How hard was that vinage air to put in? I am assuming it is heat and AC...?

[Narxoleptic Customs]

Looking great! Keep it up.

All's I've done is put the unit itself in.....wasn't too bad. It's the universal Gen II Compac system and I just used the brackets that came with it and modified them for the rear mounts and made some adjustable mounts for the front. I'll try and get some better pics for you.....oh, and yeah, it's heat and a/c

[Mechanic77]

Thanks, Narxoleptic and 2001shadowace

Thanks, Captainfab.....I'm anxious to get them done too
I've got some polishing to do, weld them up and polish up the welds afterward.....I'll definitely post up pics when they're done
