" Repost " I hate it when you lose a month!
Thanks for the bump. I forget how fast time flies! I'm in the Birthday season. Seems every week there is someone having a get together jeez hows a guy to get anything done on his car
There has been progress even if it seems slow!
Parts and pieces. I have a Ricks stainless fuel tank now. It fits vary nice and look great. Kinda pricey but it have the baffles and pump in it and it looks good!
I got a new oil pan from Weldtech. Very nice people and a great low profile pan. It fits perfect and isn't any lower then the bell housing. So if you need low Its all good!
I don't think I have any pics of it yet I'll have to fix that.
I took the plunge and ordered the engine controller and harness. I went with the FAST system they know have a complete 6.1 setup with 90mm t-body for throttle by cable. One of the reasons for this ( other then I think its a very good computer ) It will connect to the PCS trans computer.... So... As many of you will remember I wanted to use the A580 trans that the factory uses with the SRT-8 Hemi but the computer is not an option
I was ready to give up and put in a stick but decided to wait while I attacked the body. Some new option have cropped up. I have been talking back and forth with Russel from PCS about there controller. They developed a program and harness for a military application that uses the 722.6 trans ( the Mercedes version of the trans.) They have never used it or yet sold it for a NAG1 A-580 but its basically the same trans. Theres still a bunch of problems to over come but It looks doable. I will post more detailed info on the "cracking the Code post" for those interested. So I took the plunge and bought the controller and harness. I'll let you know how it goes!
I have been doing more body work as well. One thing that started bothering me was how to give the car more "attitude" I already decided I didn't want a rear spoiler like sick fish because I really like the trunk the way it is. But I wanted something different. I liked the front split "chin" spoilers.but they look like a bolt on. And I have had issues with the rear valance from day one. ( it's not finished off nice at the bottom ) Can you tell where this is going.
I must have make 10 different cardboard front and rear spoilers. But I ended up with a split front and rear spoiler that I think looks really cool. The front takes the chin spoiler and moves it down to the bottom where it belongs and it now ties accost the whole car better. That was fairly easy to come up with and I really like the look. I wanted to do something with the rear that had the same feel. man that was harder.
But the end result came out nice. its kind up a split belly pan. I extended both rear quarters 1.25" behind the tire. It makes the lower body line look much better. If you follow from the front of the rear tire back the rear is higher. Now its follow the curve. Then I added the same amount to the rear valance rolling it back under the car. then in the center it cuts back to the original hight. ( Like the front,and a lot of other late model performance cars. )
OK that was way to wordy.
I don't have many pics yet but heres a few it will help!
P.S. I got to meet Confederate Cuda all the way from Tennessee to California. That was really cool. Glad you took the time to visit. The stake was nice too!
