I have had pieces look worse with filler added.

The Willomet Charger
- Thread starter AgDieseler

A desecration to Mopar nuts everywhere, this is my protouring, LS-powered, 1970 Dodge Charger; built at my shop, Willomet Motor & Fabrication.
I like it! It has good looking contours.
Clearance, Clarence.
Clearly, lots of integration work still to go, but the rough fit check is successful.

Related. AC in the shop can bring it from
105 to 65 in about 30 mins. I only need 78 with the fans going to avoid pouring sweat onto bare steel.
Productivity is about to increase.

My shop needs one of those
Mine is about to get one. Network gear in there is cooking.
I need to figure something out in my garage. It’s well insulated so just keeps the summertime heat in it cooking.
First weekend of chilled work is done, and I’d like to think it’s worth the electricity.
This is just a Mr Cool 36K off Amazon. I did the install of the indoor and outdoor units and had the contractor that was doing other work for us wire it and connect the refrigerant lines. It’s all precharged with R-whatever.
It has no problem keeping my 575 sq ft at a comfy mid-70s.

That’s good to know because I’m eyeing the same one for my shop.
Depending on how large your shop is, the 36K can handle up to 4 wall registers. I just have one.

I had never thought about the issue of sweating and dripping on the bare metal.
The best is when it sizzles while welding.
Easily the hardest thing (I’ve had) to make.
And still have to sil-bronze and blend the open corners and trim, weld, planish, and blend it all to the cowl.
Time vampire.

12 individual pieces formed and welded to make one.
Now to trim and integrate into the lower cowl.

Finished, fit, and tacked.

Very few people can comprehend the hours that go into making a piece like that.
Excellent work.
Excellent work.
Watching your work is like watching Bob Ross paint, it’s art and it’s calming and stress relieving
Thanks, Wade. If I’ve done the work well enough, almost no one will notice it when looking around the engine bay.
Happy little welds.
David
A little tig rod here.
Change the cup so we can get a little weld around here.
Dye grinder there.

That's the craziest thing about it. You know you did a good job when no one notices it!
