Default Fixed my car today....(baller shop)

The new Mark VIII fan was too much for my charging system, so I bought a new alt. pulley (small) from Shawn @ Speed World..(his coupe is for sale BTW, $5,500.00 obo) The new pulley grinded on the alt. housing so I had to run to Lowes to get a couple of 5/8th's inch washers. The charging system is all good now, even at idle but the washers make the serpentine belt run on the outside of the tensioner pulley. So.... went to the baller shop where the airtools are and tried to get the tensioner pulley off but even the air tools couldn't get it loose...oh well, guess I'll just keep a spare belt in my trunk...

Baller Shop pics:

Yes...the Camaro is anyways... it had his name on the passenger window...the Mustang is yellow...but the hood has orange airbrushed flames..as seen in the pic if you look close. I saw this car the week after it flipped...it came back a long way.

The Camaro is cool as hell...flat black with airbrushed rivets made to look like an airplane or something.

That is not Nelsons shop... the shop in question wouldn't even exist without my dad and his last name is Sweeny... just like mine.

Either way, without starting weird arguements, those pics were taken tonight...

Enjoy.
