I need to get a video camera so I can actually upload videos. My phone is to full and won't record them.
This morning I replaced the front calipers on the blue ford because the old ones, the pistons were froze in the calipers. Imagine that. The poor truck has been setting for 2 years. Then I put a stock belt on it with a smaller idler on the tensioner to get the belt chatter noise to go away. The ATI damper is 12% bigger OD than the stock damper. ATI gives a different belt to use on their site but that belt is too loose and makes a weird chatter/slight squealing noise. It was annoying and who knows how long it would last. Now there are no weird noises, it sounds normal. Blake showed up and helped me bleed the brakes. He took it for a drive and is all smiles. He took it home and is bringing it back Saturday so I can do the electric cut out install with the stacks and tail pipes.
Tomorrow I'm dragging another customer project home. I have to do a 4x4 conversion on a 69 Longhorn. I'll probably start a build thread for it. It is a really nice California truck that a guy from New Mexico is having me build for him.Ryan
