    today, I got my thermotat housing welded up so that it points up and not on an angle. the radiator hose we be the same size and is at a better angle to the radiator outlet... also made a new breather stand as I'm not going to use the mech. fuel pump.

    so today I wanted to get the gen. mounted and was going to put it up over the pass. side valve cover
    this ment that I would have to mill the front edge of the water pump thermostat housing so belt would clear
    but as I was mocking it up I hated it! it Just stuck out like a sore thumb so here's how I mounted it....

    Better place for it. Why cover up that beautiful Caddy valve cover with a black generator.

    Awesome coupe man, I bet the guy with the Boyd C. comment feels like a fucking retard about now. I don't think there is a thing wrong with a glass car as long as its done tastefully, which yours is. Keep up the awesome work and x 3 on the coating on your 94's. Early Caddy motors give me chills.
