Modern Bullitt Charger build

[keepat]

With the help of a few of the members from the DC forum I cut in the outboard dash AC vents use some great measurements, pictures, and part of an AC dash for an original template.
Thanks

Finished the AC and heater lines at the motor, all that is left is one short line to make from the drier to the inter fender bulkhead fitting.







After bending the S/S line I had a friend weld the fitting on instead of silver soldering them on.

















The short braided soft lines for the heater and AC running forward and down will help to de-clutter the engine bay.
Thanks

That is really slick! I want to add ac to mine later on when everything else is sorted.

You did a nice job on the lines.

Today I replaced the right side radiator core support so I can use the larger radiator. The new part fit nice and I spot-welded it in place. I hope to test fit the new radiator next week.
Thanks

Nice! I would have loved to have that done to my support for a bigger Radiator, but I had it powder coated long ago. Great build.

I know the ac lines were pricey but they look real nice. Do you own a spot welder?

Yes they are a little pricey but so is most everything I put on this car unfortunately. I have a Miller spot welder and it works great.
Thanks

All the AC lines are finished and the drier & condenser have been test fit. So far I’m very happy with the Vintage Air Mopar B Body system. I’m getting closer to putting the car on the rotisserie.
Thanks

The lines look sweet! Nice job on them.

Thank you sir!



I had one bad spot in the right side cowl vent that needed a small repair, but fortunately it was accessible. The right side cowl vent is not used with new Vintage Air system; there is a plate that will cover it. Now I can water test it with a rust converter and spray it down with sealer. If anyone has a proven method for access, cleaning, and coating the inside of the cowl please let me know.
Thanks

I fitted and welded in the left side US Car Tool inner fender brace. It needed a little massaging but fit really nice. Right side is next!
Thanks

I received my Griffin radiator yesterday so with the motor still in the car I test fitted it. I’m going to weld a 90 degree pipe on the thermostat housing so it will have a short top hose.
Thanks

Loving your work as always! I had to remove my cowl due to some damage and replace it with a donor panel. You would not like what I found under there, a lot of leaves and dirt. From what I could see, there is no good way to clean that stuff out without removing the cowl panel. Or go at it from the underside. If you are going to seal off that cowl vent to the passenger compartment anyway, maybe just cut out that riser and then just put a shop vac hose up there. Of course that will not clean out the other side but maybe you can get the hose over to that side.

I had my new cowl painted with epoxy primer top and bottom. I also painted the under cowl panel area to keep it protected in the future. I had painted it orange because I had thought about having the car that color, I changed it to black before the new cowl went on just in case I didn't end up going orange. Glad I did because now I'm wanting blue

Found the pics of when I removed my cowl panel





Hand sanded and cleaned up, its a once every 40 some years chance to clean this thing up so I took full advantage of it


Primed up all nice


This is where I had painted it all orange, I changed my mind and made it black before i put the new piece on for good

Disassembled the brake pedal assembly and added the clutch pedal. Next I will fit the assembly to the Hydroboost and hydraulic clutch.
Thanks

It cleaned up nice.

Steve,
Thanks for the pictures and the info, fortunately my cowl is really in good shape and I'm just trying to figure out how to make paint it as nice-looking as yours with out removing the cowl.
Thank you

I test fitted the pedal assembly and had to weld over the original brake booster hole and cut a new hole in the firewall reinforcement mount. Also test fit the hydroboost and clutch master cylinder. I need to make the hydro boost and brake lines next.
Thanks

Good progress!
