Summer was slow and hot, so here's the fall update! |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Had
to relocate the alternator. Here's the start of the new bracket.
|
Un-polished
Vortech supercharger.
|
Alternator
relocation.
|
|
 |
 |
 |
|
|
Success!
|
Wrong!
Now the supercharger hits the top of the alternator when we set it in
place. Major problem!
|

 |
 |
 |
 |
|
The
only option. Raise the supercharger and get it away from the alternator.
|
Good
thing the owner of the truck is an Auburn University Industrial Design
graduate!
|
Here
it is, on paper at least.
|
Now
it's digitized.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Timo
at Ceramic Harmony in Huntsville turns is into a digital image.
|
Once
it's in the computer, Timo will clean it up a bit.
|
I
come in and "Ok" the final image, then.....
|
.....it's
cut on a water jet.

view.

The
final product, water jet cut from 1/4" steel flat stock. The logo
is the Auburn Band logo. Courtney built the engine, and was in the Auburn
Band. Now you know.
|
Old
bracket on left. New one on the right. Alternator goes on bottom, supercharger
on top. Notice there's more room between them now.
|
New
bracket goes off to be chrome plated. Supercharger will get polished
at the same time.
