If there is a wing hooked to it...Then it is a wing wire. If there is a coat hanging from it......

Stick a fork in it, I am done. I have had the parts to finish this car for months but never took the time to get it all together. Overall the car turned out really good. Made several changes to the car and I have several hours of machining and hundreds of dollars into this one.
Enjoy the pics, and yes i retained the wing wire, Reggie loves so much, LOL.

That is just awesome Jake, nice work!
@ Erik: I think he's just got the belt running under the tensioner for now until he runs it to keep the belt from stretching/deforming while just sitting there... Correct me if I'm wrong Jake

You are correct. The belt is pretty tight without the tensioner and probably won't be needed at all. I have it installed that way so I don't lose the tensioner. Easier to keep track of.
