Welcome to the site---We look forward to the pics to come   And there is all the help you may need and more available here.

[Ghoste]

Great to have you  on the site.  There are a couple of threads in the Site Suggestion area that are good tutorials for posting photos.  Don't forget to register it with the 69 Registry.

[nvrbdn]

welcome tom-cat. the biggest problem is size. you can resize them to a smaller size, but after you do, if you already tried to load them you will need to rename them before reposting them. alot of guys here use photo bucket to work their photos. good luck with that, and again. welcome.

[tom-cat]

thanks guys i will resend them in in a smaller message and rename them , what is the 69 registry ?

thanks guys and yes  im keeping it just the way it is , there is a big long story behind this car and i will tell it soon. but just fyi i looked and saved for a good long while. i have done a couple trucks and bikes as far as builds but just wasnt ever able to get my hands on one of these until now .  it is normal to go out in the garage at 2 am just to get a glimpse and make sure its still there and that you are not  dreaming.....right...

Yes and we all talk to ours, just don't rub it.

[JB400]

You're completely normal, just don't try to explain it to non car people.  They don't understand.

[tom-cat]

[polywideblock]

a lot of wives get jealous to    

[Fred]

Not mine, she is a real  trooper. Love her to bits.

[fy469rtse]

Yep that's normal, if my starting looked like , I think I would be sleeping out there with it her she, have you named her , very nice car, details and the story soon please, looks all the right sort of business under the hood

[tan top]

hello & welcome  !!!!  look forward to seeing more pictures & up dates & stuff 

[tom-cat]

nope havent named her "'yet"' but in the works , got a question here i was looking for the brake booster and mc and found this in the pile.  this thing is huge and im woundering if this is my only option, of course its gonna have to be chromed out but dang this thing is a monster, also i started another thread  labeled my new 69 the begining

[tom-cat]

check out my other topic/ thread for the scoup. thanks guys

[fy469rtse]

Not sure on who's the power booster made from , not factory, the master cylinder close to factory look, the off set raised bracket only needed I thought to clear the heads on a hemi engine, SSB brake company maybe, that portioning valve under master cylinder usually down attached to frame rail, looks messy all attached, you can change that , you will have alter change , make new brake lines or order new ones

Yep, what he said. Looks like an aftermarket unit. Maybe from SSBC or Master Power?
What kind of brakes are on the car now?

[tom-cat]

looks like factory disc up front and drum in the rear.

[fy469rtse]

They make reproduction twin diafram hemi type power boosters that bolt up to the firewall instead of off set out and up like that booster is , that thing just takes up too much space , have a look at some of thread the build threads on here for engine bay shots , by the way very nic car , keep posting photo's on your build , this will be a good one

[tom-cat]

cool i will definitly check out the other threads and pics are going to keep coming , i like to share my progress.   

[tom-cat]

ok so its been awhile and progress is moving just not as fast as i would like . i started the wire harness and looming ,put the drive shaft in,tailights are in ,gas tank,tank pad,fuel neck and gas cap also . i went to stab the steerin column and the sob is hitting the headers the coupling is. heres some pics.

[Hard Charger]

unfortunately it's "hammer time"

[tom-cat]

STOP ....HAMMER TIME!!! 

[fy469rtse]

Can you get the header back back off, I had the same issue, machined the boss parts of where the headers contact head,
Changed the angle slightly which will angle header in more towards engine, also will help with clearance with other pipes to steering box , just an option for you,
There's a raised area to most headers to dodges to help gaskets seal,

[tom-cat]

yes i can take them back off and that sounds like the best way to go im thinging it only needs an 1/8th inch to clear , but yea i really need to take it back off ....damm

[ACUDANUT]

Different motor mounts might help too.  Solid or rubber types can change everything an inch or so.

won't this weaken the header!! that is a critical part of the header plus that can't be cheap to do.

I wonder what brand of header it is?

[tom-cat]

what about just taking that coupling off and grinding it down a tad then polish it back out

[cdr]

just dent the header tube,its done all the time for clearance problems.

[69rtse4spd]

Welcome. .

[tom-cat]

ten fo good buddy

[fy469rtse]

You could loosen engine mount and jack engine up while its raised tighten the mount , good for a bit of extra clearance,
But I would do the header face, that 1/8 your talking about , be careful that equates to just a couple of mm to change able of headers at business end by inches , might take you a few go's in and out,
But once your done you won't be taken that off very often if rarely,

[tom-cat]

copy that , might try and loosen the mounts to budge it over a tad , not sure yet , but thank you to all.

[1974dodgecharger]

HAMMER TIME like veryone saids....

[Hard Charger]

Don't sweat it. it is very common.
