Wouldnt you like to have that little piece of tin that covers the bottom pulley bolt?
I love the look of it on mine.

Yea, that would be great. Oh, well...the P/O did not have it. This car originally was purchased in San Francisco by a doctor, and upon his death, his sister took possession. It was she that I bought the car from in Modesto.
She very literally had it in a red barn. Can you believe that?!!?

Looks awesome! Can you tell me where you purchased the hoses? The two leading from the air cleaner as well as the 2 from the fan shroud? Thanks!
