1958 bel air (formely know as clara bel

I would like to but be leaving here in a little while

finished up with the alternator, and finished up wiring up the toogle switch for the electric fuel pump

oh i havent given up yet......

weather is beautifull outside i need to be out ther tinkering with it. no energy man at all

I got the starter bolted up. Fixed the alternator arm with some advice from stewart and johnny b. I started to pull the key switch because the wiring is all prittle and found a snake skin about 2 feet long, i thinked its fresh unsure of though. I dont wanna get bit . lol

There is no snake in it. It would have moved out when we towed it. Even if there was it would be a black snake. They won't bite ya. That one we pulled out of the Bird was a big one. It looped through the cowl and into the car. close to 6 feet. That's pretty bug for a black snake. I only seen one bigger than that about 20 years ago out at the property. I hacked it's head off.

yeah, i talked to my older twin. jeff that lives behind the house he chopped a snakes head off in his yard not to long after we brought the 58 into the garage. lol

That must have been it. lol

got the radiator mounted and the cross bracing welded back in.

will i was working under the dash i hooked up the toogle switch for the electric fuel pump, wired up my gauges, and took the front dash speaker out and put in a polk audio 6x9. it wasnt just a direct placement i had to do a little fab work to sit the speaker down in there. it still did not fit from down in from the top so i bolted it from the bottom. i couldnt resist from hearing what it sounds like so i hooked it up so the garage stereo and man that thing screams.

I have a spare water neck if you still need one.
