I don't know if I mentioned it on these serpentine brackets but they will require a person to switch over to an electric fuel pump. There's just no room to keep the mechanical pump AND the A/C bracket.

Is the water pump reverse rotation? That serpentine was designed for reverse rotation, correct? Just curious how the belt is going to be ran. It truely is looking good, keep up the good work.

Yes, the water pump is from a 4.3L Olds V6 diesel application which used a serpentine setup.

I just bought a Chrome Holley mechanical fuel pump. It's for sale now! I'm taking offers. It's used but looks and works fine.

Tooks a few pictures today after getting the doors back on the car. Passenger side door is pretty close to where it needs to be but the drivers side is a mess. So I only took pics of the passenger side. lol

Still need to align the fenders and such.

Couple of pictures of my modified HVAC controls:

Page 5 shows the frame notch.

Rear wheel backspacing is 6" front wheels are something like 4.75" if I remember correctly. They really could have stood to be 5" to 5.25".

Drilled a few mounting holes and shaved the ends a bit to clear the taillights.
