    Drivers Side Alternator Mount

    I used the stock mounts for the V belt and only ran the water pump and alt. I measured with a piece of string, then bought a belt that was the same size. Using the stock mount to alt mount to tension the belt.

    Drivers Side Alternator Mount

    What type of serpantine are you running? I can get you pics of the stock 87-93 mount, or the earlier speed density with A/C and smog.

    Ford 302 V8 Engine Cradle

    You would think that thing would have a cross bar on the front. Keep it from spreading out under load. I need to build one pretty soon. I am pulling a 5.0 and aod off of a frame so I can mount some body parts. I was hoping to keep the engine complete while I pulled it off. I figured...

    getting rid of orange peel

    Orange peel is OEM for new cars as well. I looked at an 03 terminator when they were new on the lots, I was blown away at the amount of defects in the paint. Overspray, orange peel, etc.

    getting rid of orange peel

    how bad did you stink up the neighborhood? This is my concern about doing a backyard spray at my house. I would do it, if I could do it safely.

    no traction through hard corners...

    I would argue with that. But I feel so darn foolish letting the car get away from me like that. It kind of takes the air out of my bellows. It also makes me cringe about all the times I took a corner to hard and had the tires squeeling (not hard to do on this car). Come to find out that...

    no traction through hard corners...

    I will add subs to the list. I realized tonight that I do not want to get overboard with this car. I doubt I will own it much longer, since my wife hates driving it. I believe that I will do springs, shocks, bushings, and some subs. Anyone have opinions for the best all weather tire to...

    no traction through hard corners...

    It was like I had punched the throttle on gravel. It broke loose soo quickly that by the time I had the clutch depressed I was wonky the other way. aside from the worn suspension (heck of a lot of bounch when I push down on the rear), I am having a sneaking suspicion that the tires are...

    no traction through hard corners...

    Oh, forgot to mention. Toyo proxies on the stock turbines. They are gettingn fairly old and need replaced.

    no traction through hard corners...

    Tonight I found out how crappy and worn the stock suspension is on my 89gt. I was coming home from work a little while ago. I pulled up to a stop sign and proceeded to make a 90 degree left turn. I pushed the throttle a little bit more than I should have. Which put me into a sideways...

    Electric fan in your classic?

    I have one on my truck. Its a single fan, unknown brand. I do not have it wired to a temp sensor. Just a switch. It keeps the stock 302 within normal temp limits. Even on a hot day. I will have to dig around and see what brand it is.

    1967 door lock

    back rod goes up to the lock knob. front rod goes to the door handle. Edit, I am saying this from memory. I will have to go out later and see if I was correct. This contraption holds the lock rod in the up or down position.
