Just got word of a complete, pristine aluminum front end for a 63' Dodge on E-dkay.
I mean the word flawless is an understatement. At 22.5K though, it's a little out of the ball park for most.
I suspect it may be an entire front end fabricated by a guy in Michigan who was reproducing some really authentic clips complete with handmade bumpers. Shu, If I could make my bumpers as you'll can see out of thin gauge steel, I can imagine what a bonafide metal smith can do with all the right tools and shop.
Nice car there GY3.

Yep, seen the frontend. A good friend sent me the link to it.
Just the normal aluminum parts on mine... 
Joey Cole is the one making aluminum parts..

This thread being so long, I don't remember if I showed you guys this.
Way back when, I made this brake bar and never felt quite out of the woods or should I say, to keep from runnin' into the woods because of no support on the brake pad itself other than the duke welds.
Though it has served many years without any problems, I figured why not at this moment to make the additional gussets to support the pad from behind in case of an emergency pedal push.
It shaved 2 Lbs IIRC
The secret factory memos for the 64' 2% AFX cars called for these as well as many other small parts. If they made it to those cars it's any ones guess, but one surely made it to mine.
Funny, I was thinking (before the CIA made me abide to the Freedom of information act) of all the tricks that I applied way back when the car was being naughty. I look now and laugh on how many heads, Mopar heads included, that never saw or suspected the stuff. LOL.

I am almost ready to show some flicks of a little gem that is coming together. I go this weekend to weld it all up and closed. Stay tuned.
