Through floor sub frame connectors, came out pretty decent!

My RS in Action
I've made a fair number of sheet metal mounting brackets for various things. Cooling fan, ECM, parking brake cables, electronic components, etc. I guess I'm proud of them because I have ZERO metal working tools, and do not weld. It's just me and a vice, the side of my workbench, and I've made EXTENSIVE use of my air powered cut-off tool. Oh, and BFH.

I fabricated a ton of stuff on my car, but the aluminum interior is the most showy part.

Building the manifold, making a pulley system, and modifying a Shelby mustang's blower to fit a 351w block. All nice and low, almost fits under a stock hood.

That supercharger looks like it came from the factory. That is one thing amazing job.
I fabricated a wire harness that ties the '98 Mod Motor under hood wiring to an '88 dash and what little of the original wiring remaining in the '79 car. It's about 7 feet long, reaching from one kick panel, across the dash, and down to the other kick panel. I also added provision for power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks. The best - or most amazing - part was when I plugged it in, everything worked!
I fabricated stories of races won.....

The bypass-return contraption I created for about 10 bucks with a trip down the plumbing aisle, in order to reduce the ~9psi from the swapped-in "low pressure" in-tank electric fuel pump (previously a 1986 high pressure pump/system) down to a carburetor-friendly 5-6psi.
The pressure being no-nonsense reduced and consistent by the small restriction threaded within (therefore adjustable) the bottom return fuel barb that's connected with the car's original fuel return line to the tank. Cool steady pressure fuel all the times makes Mustang a happy camper.

I'm working on putting an aftermarket radio in the glovebox of my wife's 67 cougar. Sounds easy enough. Not so much though.
I didn't really fabricate these but I modified them to be used for what I needed. The factory 3" dash speakers now contain my Kenwood 1" tweeters inside them. This means that I didn't have to fabricate my own brackets to mount them. From this:

I also fabricated this throttle bracket for my 306 dual quad motor out of plywood by cutting, molding, and shaping it to the way I wanted it. I mounted it and tried it out, then took it to the machine shop next door to where I work and they recreated it out of aluminum. The aluminum piece that actually holds the throttle cable that moves in the slide hole is actually on my 347 stroker motor at the moment (I switch it from motor to motor, depending on which one is in the car at that time).
