I'd post rebuild/machining pics but I can't seem to figure out a way to upload a "group of pics" at one time here or on my gallery/garage. Seems you have to do it one at a time...
John, how do you post a video?Nice!!! Include video when you start up.
rears don't match the fronts anyway so I plan on "using them up" this summer (if it ever gets done! :shootself: ) and put new one on in the fall...::thumb::Nice, have you ordered extra rear tires yet... your going to need them

Looks awesome... sounds awesome... which means, it IS awesome! :bravo:
Speaking of Sanden A/C - I installed a Classic Auto Air system, and it did not come with any kind of an idler pulley or anything. Can you explain to me how your system is set up?
I see an idler pulley, in addition to the separate power steering belt/pulleys, and I imagine the alternator is on its own belt as normal.
I have a 3-groove crank pulley as well... just no idler set-up. I'm not totally thrilled with having to use the power steering belt to run the A/C compressor as well (CAA's suggestion), but I will if I have to. If I can find some kind of workable idler pulley, I'll be happy to clean up the 3-groove crank pulley, swap it out, and go from there.
Thanks in advance!
