Really looks great Roger!!!! I still like the belts, especially on a classy looking setup like the front of your engine. Did my pick-em-up with serpentine, but mainly cuz it was stuff I already had laying around left over from other projects.... The whole car is really taking shape and lookin' good!!! Hope to get a chance to come for a visit this summer if you don't mind giving free rides to old hippies, that is!!!!

Looks very nice. It just hurts shelling the dough for those pristine pulleys! But boy howdy, they do look great.

Steve, I agree, but I paid $1350 for the whole setup - shorty Ford water pump, AC compressor and alternator. Those three pieces alone are $650 to $700 and I still had no pulleys, brackets or bolts. Other guys (March, Vintage Air) make their own front covers from billet, putting their costs about $1000 more for SBF kits, and they are one to two inches longer than Rocky's. The main driver for me was getting all of the pieces to have belt alignment without chasing parts and pieces for weeks, and trying to cabbage together brackets from OEM parts.

Dave, you'd be welcome any time - just give me a heads up when you're coming. I also told the guys at Sehr that a road trip to Sioux Falls was possible for a good shakedown once the beast is together - I won't say "when it's done" because it will probably never to "done done".
