And new cable, which looks very suspiciously like a bicycle gear shift cable.

Next up: the blower housing. I had this lightly blasted to remove the PO red paint. Instead of leaving the magnesium bare, I plan to paint this with epoxy matte clear. Any opinions?

I think the epoxy matte clear is the perfect choice. Your car and work is just amazing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks, guys. The thermostat bracket is OEM, done by a local shop, Evolution Powder Coating in Durango--highly recommended.

Got to Tucson today, after stopping in Lake Havasu City yesterday, to drop my trans off at California Motorsport.

Here is the alternator rebuilt by Tucson Alternator Exchange.

Good value and spending your $$ locally.

Can't beat that with a stick

I like to take advantage of resources in Tucson, since I visit here frequently. This city still has lots of grass-roots shops and other old school automotive resources.

So far, besides the alternator, I have used Tucson vendors for bumper rechroming, upholstery work, fuel tank boiling out, and attempts to save my original cylinder heads.

No work to report today, but I want to celebrate the 2 year anniversary of my first post.

Here is the car when I picked it up in September 2019.
