Growing up quick...with a 38-690xx Pics added.
#17

Being a metal/wood fabricator helps a bit. I am also a great improvisor. You should see the custom bracket I fabbed up for my father's 440 Hemi conversion engine (Stage 5 aluminum heads convert 440 wedge to hemi). It holds the alternator, power steering pump and AC compressor. I used a 1/2' drive socket, the exact size escapes me, and a body hammer to work out the dents in the lytic can. Just a shadow is all that remains. I will post some pics as soon as I can. Just about done with the re-stuffing as far as the RF chassis is concerned. Dad is doing the power/amp chassis. Its his first solo project! What a radio to learn on. The amp chassis is pretty straight forward though and has plenty of room to work in as well. He is doing fine. Thanks for the responses guys!Icon_biggrin
