Love the colors. Not used to seeing the "W" in this combination, and it looks fantastic.

 

[Clint]

Assembly has started for the millionth and last time!! I had to include one more of the engine in better light. It makes the whole project anyway!

 

[LMBRJQ 60]

I do like those colours

Black rocker covers look cool

[Clint]

Thank you. I wanted to do something different.

 

[Last 60]

Now THAT is DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will the cab and bed be green and the fenders black, or vice versa????

Lonnie

 

[Clint]

The cab and bed will be a satin black. No fenders on it. I won't have to lean over them to work on it. Just sit in a chair. I am not really a fender kind of guy. Lol

 

[skipxt4]

NO Fenders? Where are the girls gonna sit, when you take the picture's? Just kidding. It's gonna be an awesome project.

 

[Clint]

Hopefully on my lap!!! And someone else can take the pictures Lol
No fenders and three pedals!!

 

[Clint]

On the ground!

Looks killer!! I like the color combo.
The single shear bolt for the lower alternator kinda makes me wonder if you know what I mean.

 

[Clint]

La hot rod I am not following You?

 

[La Hot Rods]

Your lower alternator bolt without some bracket on the outside there is no support so the bolt is in single shear.
The alternator would need a U shaped bracket on the bottom then the bolt would be double shear and much stronger.

 

[Clint]

The bolt on the lower left is just for the adjustment of the belt. The alternator bolt will be tightened too. I have had them all tight and the alternator is very solid

 

[La Hot Rods]

I am just talking about the red bolt the others look fine.
This is double shear. Sorry hard to get a good picture.

 

[Clint]

The bracket material is 1/4 inch. It is rigid with the stiffener welded down the middle also. I have mounted alternators this way in the past on small blocks.

 

[Clint]

I replied before I got the picture. I have a spacer behind the bracket too.

 

[La Hot Rods]

I am sure it will be fine. I just know how my luck goes.

 

[Clint]

We must share the same luck!!! I try to over engineer stuff to cover my a$$. Lol

 

[Clint]

New axle bearings and brakes. On the ground!!
