Modern Bullitt Charger build

[Motown 454]

Nice, that should keep some heat out. What glue did you use? Same one as the vinyl top or something hi temp?

I used Matt black vinyl to cover the silver insulation (recommended by others) then started to install the new headliner. This is the fourth car I install the headliner on, and it seems to be getting a little easier ;-)

Wayne, yes same glue as I used on the top.
Thank you!

I dreaded doing my Charger's headliner - the C pillars were a pain to get smooth -

Doing amazing work!

Tail panel is now matte black and stated installing the fuel, brake, AC, and hydro-boost lines.
Thanks

The next build I do will be plumbed more with hard lines than not. Your's will be hidden but in lots of rods, they are semi visible. The neatness is a plus. I wish I was close to you. I'd sure like a ride when completed. I know what these cars were like when new. Doing great!

Speaking of hardlines- the image shows a yellow tint (at least on my monitor). Are they a plated steel, anodized aluminum, or my poor eyesight? Also, are you planning on shielding to prevent possible rock damage?

Beautiful work.

Beautiful work.

All the lines are stainless steel and the cover I made will get installed after the fender are mounted.

Looks stainless to me. Think any aircraft builder would be proud to have claimed to have run those lines.
What is the looped line for?

Thank you sir! This boat mechanic is proud of ;-)
The loop line that runs out in front is a power steering/hydro boost cooling line that I have yet to add fins to.

The headliner came out great. The black vinyl is a great idea, my insulation is silver too. Glad I saw this. Nice job.

Thanks Wayne!

Install the brake and clutch master cylinder and pedal assembly today.
Thanks

WOW!
Looks like you poured a clear epoxy over everything. Looks like a show car!

I’ve had my fair share of spills but none of them have turned out quite well ;-)
Thank you!

Have you had a hydroboost before on anything you owned?

Yes, on a few new trucks.

I'm curious about your clutch master cylinder mounting. Is that a kit or did you decide to mount it very low? I see you don't have much space where it would mount horizontal, looks like your link lock is there. How's the geometry work for this? It might be the angle of the picture, but it seems that when the clutch pedal is depressed, the rod is going to swing in a wide arc that wouldn't be aligned with the master cylinder anymore. Wouldn't that cause the cylinder to wear quickly?

Something's been bugging me- image 2 post 1081- is the line with the regulator the feed or return? Is the regulator an Aeromotive 13129 type?

My brother had a similar setup with a similar regulator plumbed roughly the same way it looks you plumbed yours. It turns out that he had incorrectly plumbed the regulator, he had assumed the bottom of the regulator was the feed, and the side ports the outlets, as many other regulators. When plumbed with the bottom inlet, the regulator did not work correctly.

If I am mis-understanding how you plumbed the regulator, I apologize.

Thanks for the heads up it’s been a few years since I put those lines together I will follow up and check the flow!
thank you!

I double checked my plumbing diagrams from a few years ago and also confirmed how I have it on the car and it is correct the regulator is connected to the return line and plumbed hell the Aeromotive manual suggest.
Even though I had it correct it’s always nice to double check things!
Thank you!
