Who did it best?

If you didn’t have fun yesterday it’s because you weren’t in Nashville for the all new @goodguysrodandcustom Legends of HotRodding event.(You still have time to get here)

A record number of cars where out here competing for the @tanksinc HotRod of the Year and I believe we had 51 cars go down the track Music City Raceway.

I have a full video of the days events up on our YouTube channel now.

One another fun sheet metal modification I got to do to the ‘66 Charger involved shaving the factory fuel filler and relocating it to the trunk lid. @dotson_design came up with the idea of using a push-through fuel cap underneath with a ‘68 Charger flipper fuel cap mounted to the trunk lid and wanted me to figure out a way to seal the fuel filler off from the passenger compartment. So I decided to make a flange like the trunk already has but continue it inward and around the fuel filler neck. That meant redesigning the inner structure of the trunk lid so that it would seal with the weatherstripping. Everything above the yellow tape in the video, I made from scratch. I also reused the trunk latch by just moving it closer to the top of the trunk opening and machining a stainless steel pin to simplify it some. Then I made a Pullmax die to hammer out a recess that’s really similar to what the ‘66 Charger trunk emblem mounted to, just larger to fit the later flipper fuel cap. The base of the flipper fuel cap has a slanted base so I had to hammer out a slanted sheet metal mount so the fuel cap would sit flat on the trunk lid. Fun stuff. #CHRA #CustomAndHotRodsOfAndice

We don’t need no stinking hood…. A big thanks to the Awsome CHRA crew for all there hard work to make this happen on time. With an unexpected engine issue popping up recently in less than 7 working days the guys have pulled the hurt engine out of the 40 truck, pulled the same style Roush 427IR from another running hot rod. Cleaned the engine, prepped the engine painted it installed it and Neil from @tcsauto came in and helped us get it all dialed in at the last minute. PS we put the hood on it and you can see it @goodguysrodandcustom for a fun filled weekend in Des Moines Iowa this 4th of July through the weekend. This truck has been selected by @goodguysrodandcustom for Early truck of the year finalist and we are so excited! Come check it out and say hello.

@dotson_design sketched up an idea, and we turned it into reality for @chratexas. We machined these from some big blocks of aluminum to achieve the look and cross over in the spoke depths. It is all in the details. #evodwheels #evodindustries #customwheels #oneoffwheels #custom #oneoff #wedontjustmakewheels #evodparts #custommachinedparts #customparts #oneoffparts #evod #detailsmakethedifference #details
