That car is going to look killer in red.

I'm stoked for you, Brent. You've been patient, now it's time to hit it.

Thanks Scott!! It has been hard watching it on the sidelines for so long - but priorites, right? RED...Think Kurt has any left over paint from your car I can have?

I came across a few pics from about a year ago. I was working on getting the motor compartment fabbed up. The inner wells, radiator cradle, pulley arrangement. Originally I was going with a Vintage Air front runner set up. A very cool compact set up but once the motor was in and I tried laying the radiator back 17 degrees to be parallel with the angle of the inner wells. I could only lay it down 5 degrees before coming in contact with it. I really wanted to keep it on the same plane so I starting searching around for other options. I came Jones Racing Products. They had a cool aggressive cog belt system I had to have. Great people to deal with. After doing some fabbing on the ALT bracket, I was able to run 1 belt for the WP, ALT & PS, and 1 for the AC. I have a second pulley for the crank that will drive the AC which will be mounted down low on the chassis on the pass side. Not much to look at - but it's a little something.
