lol... I hate it when I start making lists like that and they keep going and going and going... :waveflag:

Interior looks good, keep on plugging along and you'll be done soon at the rate you work.

Yes, the list. I get one thing done and add two more to the list. But you know you are close when you get summit gift cards for Christmas and can't figure out what to buy.

I really didn't want to work on the trunk today, so I started on my crank pulley instead.

I had a V-belt on it before with just an alternator. To use the Turbo Buick power steering pump, I had to switch to a 6 rib belt. I could only find one place that made a 1" mandrel driven 6" 6 rib belt. It wasn't exactly what I wanted and they think a lot of them, so I figured I would just make it myself.

I have a piece of 1" x 6" flat bar that will work. If I had a 6" round piece that might have been better, but I used what I had.

First bore the 1" ID in it, so I can fixture there and build off that centerline. Drilled it 7/8" and then bored to size with a boring bar.

The I found a piece of 1.5" scrap to build a mandrel out of.

I roughted out the OD in the bandsaw and mill and started turning.

Finshed to size. 6.000" OD.

I found K sized serpentine belt dimensions online. They use a 40* angle, so I had to grind my own cutter.

Then I cut the grooves. This was a little nerve racking because that's a lot of chip load on a really thin (brittle) carbide tool.

Very unique, good looking car, can't wait to see it on the road.
You have some great fab skills.

Very nice, Mike!

Crazy skills! Let's see an overall view, Mike. I want to see what you did with the front face. Does it press on, or is it keyed, or what?

Wow nice!

The face and detail work is tomorrow or Sundays project. I wanted to get the v-grooves done before I spent too much time making it pretty.

It will be keyed (1" shaft w/ 1/8" key), but I don't have a 1/8" broach right now. I'm going to see if one of the local shops I use for work has one, if not I'll buy one.
