Well another part is done, ready, and on the shelf. MPD stopped by the garage today and finished rebuilding the alternator. We pulled it apart this weekend and by all appearances it was all original 1978 Delco. We got it cleaned up and painted, and he picked up all new guts at NAPA. He got it put back together today and hopefully its ready for another 37 years of service. He is such a talented guy. There isn't anything that he's afraid to tear apart and rebuild. It looks great and we're ready to move onto the next item.
I had another bright spot today. Len Williams called and the short block is ready. All I have to do is send him some money and he's ready to load it on a truck and send it east. Pretty exciting. It's all coming together and it's all I can do to keep up. Controlled chaos is defined in my dictionary as "happiness". Here are some pictures of the alternator.
