Had to stop off briefly to work on some sprint car parts, plus my in-lows are here from Seattle for a few days, but still managed to get a couple of items off my list.
Alternator bracket v2.0 is done and more to my liking. Need to detail out a few edges and it will be ready for the chrome shop along with the other brackets.
Also, Chip (LowElco) suggested I relocate the rear shock mounts using square tubing, so my brother-in-law, Rick, and I went to Metal by the Foot and picked up a length of material and fabbed them up using a print I found on the forum. I apologize to the member that posted it for not giving credit where credit is due, but I've looked high and low for their user name and all I could find was the
link to the drawing. My center to center distance for the bolts was 6" instead of 5-5/8", but the rest worked perfectly. Shocks now have a much better angle at a cost of under $10.
