Aftere way too long collecting dust, managed to get her fired up and moving today.  I got sidelined 8 years ago in the middle of a serpentine belt setup/upgrade which required moving the radiator, adapting new modern PS pump to old box so it wasn't just a dusting off.  I had to finish the serp belt install and all the rest. 

Very happy to have it running again.  Still a long way to go

I used Jerry's serp belt setup and I must say, I'm very happy with it.  My engine came from a junkyard with no accessories and I pieced it together which resulted in belt misalignment and squeaky belts which made me not want to drive the car.

Great news! I'm at 7 years of not running. Hopefully it will finally be able to hit the road again this year.

Guy who works for me took that.  He's a droid guy what can i say.  Looks ok on his phone but 8 automatically lowers the quality when he sends.  I gave him my YouTube login so he could put it right on my channel but he couldn't put that together either lol
