Twin Turbo 69 R/t Coronet

[Southrod]

Another one thats just starting to get good enough to show off,its a 69 dodge R/T Coronet, one of Tom Nelsons twin turbo injected 572 all alloy engines,XV motorsports suspension,some pretty trick sheetmetal work is assured in the engine bay etc etc,I fly out to Cal on wed to watch the engine dynoed at Nelsons then on to sema ,hopefully by the time Im home in Aus It should be there.

If you have a look above at post number 4 you will see we fabbed a sandwich buck the shape of the reliefs and used a small blunt chisel (bucking tool ) and gently work around the shape till we had the depth we wanted(old school stuff)

The car is an original B5 blue white interior white stripe car so we will have PPG mix a special pearl blend of the color for us,interior will be white but modernised but not to the point of losing its muscle heritage,Trans will be a BMR Mega torque 727 with gearvenders overdrive,we will be getting interior design done as we progress.

+1. Much better than the wheels in the rendering.

[JohnC]

I guess I'm in the minority....I love the renderings and the wheels in them. Who did them? Hermance?

Going with or without the vinyl top?

[waynieZ]

The car looks great.

too awesome... love it!

Any updates from the Land Down Under?

X2. I am waiting for updates too. How did the visit to Nelson go and SEMA after?

[gracin7]

AWSOME looking car!!!!

[Josh69]

Cool concept. Just curious, and I'm no expert on chassis fab, but is it safe to have that much metal removed from the rear frame rails, especially at the high stress area at the top of an existing arch? I'm curious what the rationale is for removing so much. Are you adding structure on the topside? It looks like it could just snap in half with the quarter panels not far behind.

Sorry guys updates are coming,We are just waiting for Tom nelson to finish a few things up on the motor and we can get it shipped out here,hopefully well be back into it after xmas.
The cut outs wont effect the rear of the car at all everything will be tied into the cage when its fabricated.

[moparnate]

Nice Build! cant wait to see it done.

["Swoosh"]

wow looks awesome! :thumbsup:

[66LS7]

I like the way the car is turning out, the rendering without the white top is my favorite.

Why even dyno it? Since it is a Nelson engine you already know it has a gazillion horsepower. :rofl: Just kidding, you have a beautiful engine. :hail:

[phillym5]

Wow... thats real tight. The whole project is amazing.
I would love to have that motor on a stand just chillin in my living room.

[Bow Tie 67]

Killer looking engine. The last pick kind of reminds me of a bull, I can picture the thing getting ready to run you over.

[wedged]

You've got to be kidding me. That would be like having the hottest girlfriend/wife on the planet and never ...er...um.... "consumating" the relationship. As pretty as it is (can't believe I used that word for an engine) it needs to be flogged and flogged HARD ! If I had it, I'd run it like I hated it and attempt to get a 110% reading out of the TPS while my passengers screamed like little girls begging to get out.

In looking at the shot from the front, it just flat out screams MOPAR ! It looks like a very angry evil ram is coming at you , perfect for the Dodge it is going into !

Tom- incredible,inspiring,awesome ! You and your team have outdone yourselves yet again.

:woot: :cheers: :hail: :bow:

This thing is killer by the way!:thumbsup:

you can achieve this same thing with a bead roller. You can also change the shape of the edge by using different dies. You could use a tank roll, 1/8" step die, 45 degree step die, pretty much the sky is the limit.

[snowskater6996]

Gives the saying elephant motor a whole new meaning with the way the intake looks the the elephants trunk lol

Did I miss the info on the motor and turbo stuff? Looks like a Nelson intake/ turbo headers/ and there turbos

[MoparCar]

Very nice updates. Wow-looks great!

Question: In the first posts it appears you made new upper shock mounts for the front XV Motorsports suspension. Am I seeing this correctly and if so was this done to lower the ride height or for other reasons? I'm contemplating their front suspension for my project and their normal ride height has always seemed a bit high. I do realize your build is very low.

Any pictures of the rear suspension installed.

Great build.

If you look at the mounts I fabbed they have both the original (XV) height holes and a lower set, Ill do the same on the rear when I get to that part .
This gives us the look we are after with the car but also we can put it back up to the height XV designed their suspension to run at,for when the customer wants to play.

Shane,
Thanks for the response on the front suspension. That is a great solution for the ride height. I still wonder if the XV front would physically fit Air Ride/Ride Tech shockwaves?

One of my favorite builds. I need to look at the Cuda you're doing also.

Looks like a Tom Nelson Twin to me.... and if so.... he has his TT's made so that they can be symmetrical (or whatever it should be called)... BTW -- NOT saying that you're wrong... cause I really don't know - but that looks like a TNR billet intake etc so was thinking maybe that the turbos are his "new" versions?

[mosconiac]

Wow, talk about eagle eyes! I wonder what would happen if one was making boost & the other was making vacuum. Who wins?

[g356gear]

Wow, talk about eagle eyes! I wonder what would happen if one was making boost & the other was making vacuum. Who wins?

Assuming matching rpm and exhaust flow on each bank......basically you would have a naturally aspirated motor;)

Bingo, you win.These are Toms new versions.

Bingo, you win.These are Toms new versions.

i figured they were but like i said, im assuming you just have the housings on there for mockup and the center cartridge will get changed because that wheel is pitched the wrong direction :thumbsup:

WOW!! Just found this thread.Awesome work.This going to be a top notch car.I will tune in more now.Thank's for sharing.Scott.

I just thank the lord above that we live on this planet where these kinds of insane car builds not only happen, but we all get to follow along and watch as the photos and tech specs just appear on these pages...

Thank you guys sooooooo much for taking the time to take decent photos, upload them, assemble them into a great story, and patiently answer questions from us wanna-be builders...

Now I'm gonna go find that box of tissue and ....well clean my monitor of course!!!!

Thanks for taking the time to post pics, your shops work is top notch.

How many employees do you typically have in the shop?

[elitecustombody]

You guys make it look so easy:) Amazing work as usual:thumbsup:

[SuperB70]

Shane, again you are in your own level. :bow:
But those fuelpumps are going to drive you/owner grazy, they are SO noisy. put some rubber between them and rails.
Are you gonna use controller for them, you should, othervice they will go bad.

Mr.T is not the only one how makes turbos, world is full of them. Go and get them somewhere else, man.
How are them making them, with hand drills and -files? been unaccepted long wait for them.

You are not the only one how has problems with they "products".
You would expect to get some class AA++ customer service with that kind of price tags.

I have an hunch how you are going to do the downpipes put want to see it.

This is a good build for me, at spring trying to get my '70 bee started.:willy:

Downpipe routing, fresh way of thinking. I was thinking that
you will route them outside above the UCA but that is more cleaner way.
You have to shield them some how, after all they will glow yellow
/white. We dont want to burn the paint from the bonnet/ inner fender.
Now wont we? :) awesom job.:thumbsup:

[waynieZ]

Do they make a ceramic coating that you can tint to the color you need for the wheel wells?

[Ralphlovs72chev]

WOW!! mate you have this down.:hail: Hell of some work going on here. For having so few workers you are puting down some top notch work. Your work is some of the best i have ever seen and im from California lol....:captain:

We are thinking of most likely wrapping the pipes that are under the inner fender and lining the inner fender with a heat shield matting.

as an owner of a 69 Coronet and being just up the highway from this build, I'd appreciate all the left-overs please, and also if you could let me know which car shows this thing will be at I'd appreciate it.....so I know to leave mine at home!:(

Great build though, very inspirational, all I need is a huge bucket of money and even huger bucket of skill and I'm there!

PS: How do I get a job there, I make a mean cup of coffee and wield a fearsome workshop broom.:thumbsup:

[SuperB70]

Super Nice, I love the stance, those are shop wheels or final ones?

Front view looks like an angry hitman!

In the front from radiator to grill look like pretty full, I bet you have (super cool) idea where to put IC or two?

Leaving inner front lights off ? I see holes for air to filters :yes:

Keep pic coming, please, please, please :D

Yeh, the plan is to enlarge the old Park light areas to allow air into the intercoolers,one of the next jobs we tackle.

The core support looks great. I like the bumper tucked up tight like that. Thanks for posting.

[Ralphlovs72chev]

Beautiful just beautifull. This car is coming along very nicely. Final color choice?

[Vegas69]

Yep, that thing looks mean as hell. I like how you moved the bumper in AND up.

Very, very nice. Looks mean.
Can't wait for more progress pics. I've always had a soft spot for Mopars.

Hey Robbie,
I found a few boxes of them at a swap one day,thought they would come in handy,i have seen them advertised some where, i will see if I can dig them up for you.

Hey Robbie,

Thanks! I've thought of machining some for our projects, but for what it is they'd be very time consuming. I found on Model A's theres a radiator strut rod bracket that bolts to the firewall with a stainless screw that looks like a rivet, but it's limited to the 10/32 size and you have to buy the complete bracket to get two of them!

Incredible work!

any clearance issues with the outlet pipes and the tires especially when steering?

None with full lock and compression on the springs there is still 3/4 inch of clearance.The wheels on the car are not the wheels we will use were having them designed at the moment, so the final fitment will be better again.

I'm digging the German Shepherd dog too! Great dogs. I grew up with them growing up.

Heres a few from last week,final bare metal tweeks ,door gaps etc,still got to redo the outer ends of the rear bumper to blend with the quarter better,and I decided i wasnt happy with the hood,it wasnt a good one to start with,so back to the drawing board on that.

One of my favorite mopars and this has to be one of the nicest builds of one

[DBL NKL]

That there's a down right wicked build Shane. You guys really are producing some beautiful work and I am envious of that car! My first car was a 68 Coronet and all I did was melt the tires off it week by week. Love the Alien intake in there as it really suits the build. :hail:

Way nice!

[tones2SS]

Man, that thing is going to be one mean machine.

[camcojb]

Man, that thing is going to be one mean machine.

I agree, what a great build.

Awesome work! I'd imaging your not refering to the inner structure because I love that metal work. Is it the outer skin your referring too?

[waynieZ]

The car looks awesome Shane. Thanks for posting.

[Southrod]

Awesome work! I'd imaging your not refering to the inner structure because I love that metal work. Is it the outer skin your referring too?

Actually both,The inner looks too "busy" to me and the outer, well thats another story.
This is actually a hard car to build,in the fact of not trying to over power it with too much fabrication but keep it simple (well, as simple as a 1600 HP car could be anyway).
Shane.

you know what your doing. its in the right hands
