Alternator swap and progress on the dashboard..

This morning.....afternoon....(it was actually yesterday but that's cool, whatever) Jeff and I swapped the stock Hitachi, externally regulated alternator,

with a GM Delco Remy, internally regulated alternator.

This required modifying the alternator mount

by cutting about 1/3 of the forward part of it off and drilling a hole in to accept a 1/2 inch bolt like this

Now, on to the dashboard. The dashboard is rough fitted (rough in every sense of the word, cosmetics come later).

Next: Installing gages, switches, and probably a radio.
