Re: Blue's Barracuda
Couldn’t help noticing just how heavy the pot metal instrument housing is, I’ll be having a look at that….

Re: Blue's Barracuda
Final step is fitting a Voltmeter decal to complete the look. Can all be reinstalled now and wired to suit. I need to check but I think all that needs doing is to move the large red and black wires for the Ammeter onto one terminal of the voltmeter and earth the other side, assuming that’s the case ...

Re: Blue's Barracuda
Next comes the tricky job of snipping off the original needle and gluing it to the new needle as it’s a different shape and needs to be moved up a bit to match.

Next step is to glue the Bosch face under the mopar face so that you can use the tiny screws to fit it all together.

Re: Blue's Barracuda
First job is gut it, the face comes off with 2 tiny screws. The face of the factory Ammeter is held on by 2 tiny rivets, I cut through them from behind so as not to damage the face.

Given we all tend to bypass the factory Amp gauge due to the lousy design and potential fire risk, I wanted to do a constuctive mod. Converting the Amp gauge to a voltmeter is pretty straightforward though fiddly job. I’m not taking credit for this, a mooch around the net showed it’s been done many ...

Re: Blue's Barracuda
No I’m done with big blocks, I really like stroker small blocks. I have new heads and intake to fit which should add a bit more HP.

Re: Frame measurement tollerance?
Firstly I don’t know what the tolerances are but I would be wanting to work to an 1/8” if possible. If you can correct it by jacking stuff around then Personally I’d do it.

Re: Dom's 66 Coronet 500
I can see where you are headed, nicely stitched covers and you have some sharp looking armrests.

Not seen stuff like this rust but then the car never really sees bad weather, I will fit some boots though to keep dirt out.

Today’s job, adjustable front suspension limiters and Hotchkis steering arms. Being able to adjust front suspension travel is one way of controlling wheel stands, plus it stops the rod ends on the steering arms from running out of travel.

Re: Dom's 66 Coronet 500
that looks great, i'd be well happy with that. :thumbright: on those tv programs they steam the trim and it tightens it up. if you have one of those handheld steam cleaners maybe give it a go? neil.
