what about this is a missile

[Devocat]

i need to be missing something here

this car is beautiful. the fab work is amazing. the time, effort and attention to detail put into this goes far beyond most show cars i see.

this is not a missile. awesome build and stuff but lets not throw that word around. makes everyone look silly.

Fark. Much envy on all the fab work.

Now comes the bracing

Dykem blueprint for lay out makes precise work very possible, I needed the spray can version the brush on type isn't meant for large areas like this.





Using a spare head from my N/A motor



Mounting this behind the exhaust cam to where the original cam cover bolted to, added benefit is the coil wires will be covered and protected, its multipurpose.





I like making these little bullet nose bolts for when you need to center punch a piece but have no reference point for the layout



Now all you do is set your piece over the nose of the bolt where you want the hole to be and just tap it with your dead blow











Starting to finesse the final shape



Dat fitment



Some scuff pad



Now to triangulate











Fits so nice



Weld it up


Done and done

By the way if you don't have a rear brake kit yet. Get your hands on some SRT8 calipers they go for cheap and there is a bracket out for them already. I am running the SRT8 challenger brakes up front with a 370z rotor and they are great.

The radiator shroud came out well enough so I couldn't just use a lame plastic overflow tank.. I decided to make one, imagine that.

The cap however, I did buy. I don't have a mill yet otherwise I would of made this as well.



The body is a 2.5" aluminum tube.



I am not making boobs I promise, this is the top and bottom caps for the tank.



I try to hand cut everything a little to big so I can either hand file it to the correct size or for example chuck it into the lathe and machine it to the correct diameter.



There it is, fits snug so I don't have to try and hold it together when I final tack it together.



Here is the glorious weld on bung hole! I always think of Beavis and Butthead when I say or think bung hole, the struggles of being born in the 90's.



This is the nipple. Again not a boob reference it's just a humble reservoir nipple, this will transfer the coolant from the radiator into the reservoir.



Here is the spread before assembly.



Weld on the inside because it is so clean looking.



The bottom receives the same internal welding treatment.



Top and bottom both welded, sorry for the oxidation here and there, I do not have a rotator as of yet so I have to make do with the old tried and true hand method.



Reservoir will be mounted onto the radiator for a single compact easy to remove package.



Lower mount



Cut out! and the accompanied gusset with the ever so popular speed hole treatment.



Very simple in its operation, but the nipple bung serves both as a threaded bung and a way to mount the reservoir in a semi isolated fashion.









One more mount to go.



I call this the upper tongue depressor brace.





Fits real nice and is hidden away!



There ya go finished product.
