I haven't done anything to the '72 for a month
Make that
five months.
The weather is finally getting conducive to working outside, but now the bugs are really bad.
I dragged out some exhaust parts and am attempting to scare up a shifter boot that I think is stored around here somewhere, but the big thing is that I'm trying to get my hands on a TIG welder now. I want get something done, but also want to put off welding jobs until I have better equipment. My head is swimming with all the potential projects I could do with a TIG....intake plumbing, intake manifold, spring perches, bike frames, subframe connectors, boxed control arms, turbo manifolds....
Pulled the alternator bracket off the '77 parts car and to my surprise, the cast lower bracket is
iron....and heavy. Not real thrilled about that, but I guess it will do. The aluminum marine 2.3 bracket I have would require mods to the alternator case which is not a big deal, but it makes alternator replacement more problematic.
