'67 El Camino H/SA

Moving at a snail's pace as usual. Ford housing ends to be welded in place Friday, then I can order axles and get the 12-bolt back under the truck.

Thanks to Perry Simpkins and Gary Jennings, no more c-clip eliminators.

New Budnick steering wheel looks right at home in there.

Best I could come up with for an alternator/mount...a lower mount was just not working out.

Ordered the wrong Wilwood rear brakes for my housing ends...awaiting replacements so I can stab the axles in and measure for back wheels. Also need to fabricate a d-shaft loop which will likely get welded to the crossmember.

Lookin' good!

I have the same alternator mount on my bracket Camaro, but I had to extend the top part a bit when I got tall valve covers. But I like it a lot, it's easy to get the exact tension on the belt you want and it holds it great.

It needed two 1/4" spacers to line the pulleys up...running a 46" belt.

Rich, Ram Air Restoration offers a driveshaft loop that bolts to the Chevelle cross member. -Al
