Thanks guys! I am pretty happy with the way the vinyl came out. Rick, I think I agree. I'm gonna leave the stock sheen and not clear coat it.

So, I have been chasing an intermittent coolant leak and finally it has begun to be a more consistent leak. The water pump is gonna need to be replaced. No big deal as I was going to have to install the new AC bracket setup so might as well get it out of the way and do it all at the same time. I'm actually happy it happened when it did. At least I can drive her from here on out knowing I have a new AC Delco pump on there. This week I should be able to wrap up the odds and ends I have had to deal with.

I was able to re-locate the wheel spacers and it eliminated about 50 percent of the vibration, but not all. I may need to have a custom set made and or check the driveshaft for balance.

New Holley AC brackets installed. I am very impressed with the engineering on these. Fit together nicely and looks like a stock setup. After install, not a squeak from the belt.

Do you happen to have the belt length or part number you used handy ? I have been having problems finding one that gets the belt tensioner in the right position. I am in between sizes so far and have followed holleys specific pulleys.

Your are correct. The belt suggestion for the Holley setup is extremely tight. I will check my setup and give you the belt # I used.
