'69 Camaro Temper

[CamaroAJ]

So I've been playing with this car a little bit after work. Nothing too exciting but I did get the fuel filler mount cut out and I think a decent setup for it. I'll weld it up tomorrow and see if I like it or not.

Very impressive. Looking forward to more updates.

Looking good. Keep the pics coming

Thanks guys.

I had a busy weekend and didn't get to work on the car as much as I wanted to. I did get the harness hole filled in my firewall since I changed to Infinitybox setup instead.


And I got the filler mount welded and ready for paint



Today I built a stand for my new grinder


Hopefully I'll be able to start making more progress on the regular now.

So I didn't like how my fuel filler came out. It's not bad, but it could be better. So I scrapped it and started over. The thing that bothered me to most was not being able to get a perfect circle recess. I thought about it last night and had an idea on how to make a perfect circle. After work tonight I cut some scrap 1/4" plate and made a pivot point. I'll refine it later for infinite adjustment for up to 14" circles with a slot and a carriage bolt.





I'll update this again this weekend hopefully with the redesigned filler mount.

That's using your noodle.
Maybe we need a " show me your home made tools " thread
This would be a perfect opening act

Thanks Frank, it worked better than I hoped for.

Part of fuel filler version 2.0 with a perfect circle that I'm really happy with. More work on it tomorrow to hopefully finish it up.

While I really liked. Verion1, v. 2 looks even better

Thanks! I'm really happy with the fitment of the filler cap on this one vs. the old one.
