After having problems finding a good place to mount this Franz suggested making it a brake light instead.

That’s cool! Need one for my bus.

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

Nice Ron! Gonna be able to open the decklid with that spotlight on there? It looks HUGE!

It’s a 7” light and I have about 1/2” of clearance from the deck lid.

Back in for some service. We ran a compression test a while back and the numbers were low. Alternator crapped out the other day so the motor had to be pulled for replacement.

Time for some fresh p’s& c’s and a new alternator. 

The new alternator backing plate was diff then the old one, extra step in the casting. Swapped that over to the new one to get the fan not to rub. 

We will build it if it comes.

Ever wondered what this tool was? Worth its weight in gold and 61 years later the pin had no chance.
