Glenn's dragster thread

Another video and another mistake.
Still looking for advice on how to make videos, I screwed up the end of this video, the camera really did not like the ceiling lights in back of me and made me very dark (at lest I turned the mic on this time).
In this video two things are accomplished. 1) a heavily painted heat duct grill is stripped and reconditioned to like new condition, 2) The Powder Coat process is shown and the advantages discussed.
I wrote up the Powder Coat process and presented the needed equipment equipment a DIY person would need on my web site, this is the link to that information https://www.lever-family-racing.com/powder-coat

Made mount for MDS Pro Mag 20 Points Box 8106, System 1 Remote Oil Filter For Front Engine Dragster.
In this video a mounting plate of 1/4 inch aluminum is cut and fitted to the bottom of the Front Engine Dragster. I need to mount to it the TurbStart 16 volt Battery, MSD Points Box 8106 for the MSD Pro Mag 20, and the System 1 remote oil filter. There is not a lot of room so this could be tricky.
The plate was completed but I ran out of time to show the actual mounting of the components and checking the height of the body.
In part 2 we will mount the body and check height clearances, cut the body to fit around the fuel pump, and powder coat the mounting plate.

This video is different from videos I have uploaded in the past.
We have a group of guys that get together on Saturday mornings, and call ourselves the car nuts. The meetings have been going on a long time now, and started on a 1970 SS El Camino, went from there to a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am drag car, and now on to the Front Engine Dragster.
This video is more about what happens when we get together than the project, although we do accomplish things.
I have been dreading cutting the body to fit around the fuel pump but today is the day. How the pump is orientated is dictated by the body and that dictates how the components will be mounted on the floor plates made in the last video.
I will be starting a new playlist that contains the Car Nut videos as they many not be as interesting to people that are not here on a Saturday.

In this video we build a bracket for the Remote Oil Filter that goes into the Front Engine Dragster. Placement and the angle of the bracket were a challenge. I made several mistakes and the project fought me most of the way.
At the end I was pretty discussed with the final result, but it works and I have no time to build another on. The first race in May is fast approaching and there is still LOTS to do.
