vintagedragfan Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 thanks Jonathan! hey Chas, It is fun and challenging at the same time, thanks bro hey John, yea it is 1 piece, I made a template and transferred it to the brass, cut it out and used parallels in the vice for a metal break, and a drill rod to form the hump, still not sure how I'm going to get all of this together, I have to be careful or I will paint myself into a corner, I lost the instruction's, can't seem to find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platerpants Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 lost the instructions for the kit? this kits been out so much in different versions mainly the stock version but the instructions should be easy to find online if thats what you mean. This thing is just too awesome who needs instructions when you can go online and find reference photos on every inch of the car. My dad did that for his hemi cuda and a ta challenger that he just randomly stopped working on after getting it 90% done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimebolt Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I got to see the MIGHTY HEMI again today, and the chassis for the first time today! The chassis is every bit as wicked as the motor going in it!!! It's gonna be radical when it's done!!! Trust me on that one. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Used a vise as a sheet metal press. Makes sense! Beautiful results. I'll have to practice this next.
