His work and Trent Lewis' of Midwest Metal works are usually top of mind for me.
305s turn a lot farther with the flaming river rack.
And the go kart is all setup to be background art while I weld the 75s for Seymour.

A desecration to Mopar nuts everywhere, this is my protouring, LS-powered, 1970 Dodge Charger; built at my shop, Willomet Motor & Fabrication.

Doesn't look real.
Starting to look like a driveable car there
Closer each day. I'm itching to put the AMD sheetmetal on so it really starts looking the part.
Barely feels like it.

Wonder if you could build something like a truck creeper to reach over the front.
I'm just surprised they used a metal backer and not cardboard.

Ramen noodles and crazy glue are the new filler.
Looks original now. Nice work.

This fought me all day. Had to make it twice, and ran out of time to weld and planish.
SEMA is Mon-Wed, work-work is Thur and Fri, and then first rifle hunt of deer season. It’ll be a week before I’m back on this, and it always goes better when I can triple check prep and cleanliness immediately before welding, and then do that process uninterrupted.
Aside from Bluetooth driveshafts, let me know what y’all want to see from SEMA.

Work-work is building the charger right?
Honestly only two things from SEMA I would be curious to see pictures of:
Exhaust systems (whatever you can get pictures of) for this generation car with new gen powerplants. Nothing as criticism or comparison to yours, just nosy. It’s recently been brought to my attention that I am a hell of highwater SBC guy. Trying to expand my horizons

well with HO 305 we can understand why
Doing this for a third time.
If I can’t make this patch work, I’ll do a whole AMD skin.

What happend with version 1 and 2?
Tuition pile. Ended up with a crown I couldn’t get out, and the whole panel ended up changing profile.
David
Thats how all my bodywork attempts end up
Do you have a sprinkler stretcher setup or do you know how to do it with heat and hammer?
Is that you hanging with Dirt Lifestyle Nate and Muddy Beard?
It's a frustrating learning curve man, but big open panels like this are particularly tough.
I use a shrinker disc. It works well with slap hammers and the ox, and I far prefer that to using the torch.
Yessir. We had a rowdy time in NV.
