    I’ll wait until I get the body back and mock the hood up. Everything is kind wobbly right now

  3. From whom did you source the mini starter? Looking to get one for my 303.

    My son and I built the car in the avatar. A great experience for his Dad and hopefully for him. I hope it is the same for you and your grandson.

    When the car was finished we did 9 states and 4,000 miles another once in lifetime experience.

    Got my alternator in….mock up. Not sure if I like it 049E477A-223A-452D-99D6-70D73F51285C.jpeg DF4AE60F-63B1-4AA0-BC47-633F10F88962.jpeg 5687F62E-066C-4C73-913B-BB4A7CBA37A7.jpeg
     
  10. Yes, the bracket sticks out like a sore thumb. Why not mount on top of the manifold with a fabbed up bracket like the original Olds piece?

    I love what you're doing here, but that car deserves a generator or a Powergen with the Delco tag added on to it. That alternator looks like it came from an Alien Planet from a far off Galaxy! JMHO ;)

    It did, lol, I want to run a hood on it. Gens look a little crowded so close to the carbs.

    Parking brake apparatus is close enough to order cables, too chicken to weld it. I’ll commit when the cables get here and it works. 7D089373-AC0C-4AC7-8059-26824430AFB0.jpeg EF11A3BF-2464-449F-AE49-1868C5A301C7.jpeg C099921D-ADFB-4348-93AA-BBF9EF118CB8.jpeg 48B55C62-7FAC-4E84-9E90-9CE82C7EE24F.jpeg

    I’m fabbing all this up using a porta band on a table, drill press, belt sander on a table, chop saw and a Miller welder. And hand grinders a press with home made dies. So once everything seems to work and not interfere with anything else, I’ll grind and shape things to be more palatable. Cheers all.

    But it still hides your bitchin front motor mount.
    I’m a NorCal guy too, where did you take the body for blasting? Are they going to epoxy primer it too?

    They are going to epoxy prime and repair any damage by “metalized” repair process.

    55 Amp alternator is to small for a electric fan you need at least 100 amps.
