I've been restoring and modifying a 1966 Ford Mustang Restomod with engine, suspension, and brake upgrades, and new paint and interior.
I'm also fixing up a former-road-racer, supercharged 2001 Bullitt Mustang.
And my '57 Chevy Bel Air needs just about everything.
My blog chronicles my mods and repairs, road trips, car shows, and new stuff along the way!

AC/DC
I bought a new 95 amp 3G alternator, along with a fused power cable and a stock wiring kit with modified voltage regulator, from PA-Performance. This will replace the 65 amp 1G unit on there now, which really can't keep up with the electric fan. Actually the fan only uses 10 amps, but at idle the alternator probably doesn't put out more than 15 amps. Along with the MSD igntion system and the relayed Halogen headlights, I'm getting about 13.1v at idle. The new alternator should put out about 60 amps at idle to maintain 14.5v. Someday, I actually might get around to installing this thing.
