So i go to change out the pulley on the alternator last night, i put an allen on the main shaft, and a wrench on the nut.....and this is the result...
Guess i need to stop working out....all that keyboarding is making me too strong.

Nothing exciting, but it IS a big leap in my car rebuild project.

| Yeah sorry for the poor audio quality on the first start up, uncapped headers, and 4 foot of distance, not a good mix. I'll try to get video of it from a good 20 foot away and go thru the RPM's for ya if my neighbors dont mind here soon. Thanks

Ok so i took a week of vacation hoping to finish up the body work, but it turned out the 102 degree weather and terrible storms we had at night was a bit much for me and even the bondo i tried to lay.
But i thought i would share with you the things i did get accomplished.
For instance we got carpet. now im not talking about that $125 pre-molded carpet, i mean carpet carpet, the kind you lay down on the floor and cut to fit.
here is the passenger side.
i also got a new set of tires. Sadly Cooper stopped making the 245/60/R14's so i sucked it up and bought a cheaper tire. Yeah they look like chicken legs on a muscle car. But its only to get us to Washington. I just want to ride, im starting to not care about how it looks going cross country.
and i fixed the ripples in the dash, im not completely finished, but this is MUCH better than what it looked like before.
i also fixed the timing on the Camaro. Im gonna have to get a radiator and exhaust, then let the car sit and idle for about 20 minutes of so to let the computer learn its parameters.

| Hey Shaggy,that's coming right along. I do like those rims on the car. Did you say you needed that Quicksilver shifter? Were you going to stay automatic or manual? I can't remember if you said to send it or not......BWD
