A minor setback….

This off topic message goes out to my good Friend Brian Kapral. Yes, I did in fact tear another Shoulder Tendon a few weeks ago. It’s the result of too many arm-bars and over training. Not a big deal though. It’s my fifth rota-tor cuff Surgery (3 on the left and 2 on the right) and I’ll be back to do the same crazy things in a few weeks. It was a mild setback with working on this Project but I adjusted my efforts to do things that do not require using both arms at the same time. Here are a couple of photos showing the damage. It has since been repaired and on the mend.

Here are a few random photos showing various details throughout the underside of the vehicle. We are doing our best in replicating the same type of Assembly Line build characteristics that a 1970 Chrysler 4 door “production” Barracuda would have exhibited.

Trunk Details

Here are a couple of photos showing detailing features that usually go un-noticed. One shows the Tail Light Harness part number Tag and the other shows the small pad that the Jacking shaft rests on when placed in the Trunk. It keeps the metal components from rattling and making noise when the vehicle is traveling over rough roads.

ECS Restored NOS Voltage Regulators

These photos are in response to a recent inquiry about our Voltage Regulators. Below are progression photos showing our restored NOS units. (Also shown is a Factory blue-print of Chrysler Voltage Regulators.) Over the past few years, I have accumulated a large quantity of NOS Chrysler Voltage Regulators. I strip them of their old weathered paint, re-paint them with a high-heat enamel that matches the Factory black finish and then ink stamp them with the correct Chrysler artwork. The end result is an original unit that looks brand new!

Factory Wheel Weights

Here are a couple of “Before & After” photos showing a set of Factory Wheel weights that I restored for this project. They were lightly GLASS BEADED using low pressure air. (25-30 PSI) After the oxidation was removed, they were rigorously rubbed with OOOO Steel Wool and Mother’s Polish as a buffing/polishing agent. They were then rubbed clean with a soft cloth and given a Lacquer Thinner bath to remove any remaining residue. They were rubbed out one more time with DRY OOOO Steel Wool and then treated with our corrosion product, AMMO. The AMMO gave them a nice “NEW” looking finish and will keep them from oxidizing or getting dull over time. They should add a nice original touch to the Magnum 500 Wheels.
