is the viper engine more narrow than the hemi. it seems like you have decent real estate in the engine compartment.

I've never actually measured it, but I'm pretty sure it is. It should be the same width as a 360...

Cup Holders, Sweet! Very clean build and planning.

Hotrodding 101, when you can't buy what you need, you have to make it. I needed a fitting for my PS pump to convert to -6AN. I'm spending some time putting together all the fluid systems, buying all the lines and fittings, man, they don't give that stuff away...

Thanks, Wayne. Not as much as I would like, but my garage stays around 55*

All I got to do was melt the snow off the roof! lol

I've been trying to put together all the plumbing for the truck. I've learned a valuable lesson, whatever manufacturers hose you decide to use, make sure you use their hose ends, they will fit much better. I am using Vibrant hose, and for the life of me, I could not get an Earl's fitting to go on. Thank goodness Summit takes returns.

Sometimes Even from the same manufacturer they're too tight I like the black with the Red tracer in it.

Yeah, I saw that when I was doing research on hose and ends, etc. Is that Vibrant hose or did you send it back for different hose?

I got the Hydroboost/Power Steering lines finished, next is the AC lines, then fuel. Just happen to have the ladder in the shop to fix my heater, looked like a good picture moment...

I'm guessing another week or two. I'm getting excited to move on to the finish work...

OK, I know I haven't posted in a few weeks, but I've been working on a new project, a Cold Air Intake. Of course with a project like this, you can't buy anything off the shelf ( unless you get lucky ) so you have to build your own parts. Instead of buying aluminum tubing and welding it together, I decided to try something different, I 3D printed it. I designed up the pieces, printed and then epoxied them together. Then wrapped it in a carbon fiber sleeve, and kept coating it with epoxy and sanding until I got it flat. Next came 4 coats of clear, then color sand and buff. Actually came out pretty good....

Nice progress. Meticulous is the word Tin.

Damn, That looks nice! Great job.
