Cuda Capers: update
I got it.... The last go-around of spacers and moving everything UP a bit worked. I tied a string around the pulleys and found a co-operative parts counter man at my local parts jobber. Belt fits perfect and everything lines up without taking a Sawzall to my cylinder head.
I'm also making headway with that %$#@*&^ headliner. I'll tighten up the edges tomorrow. I think I might be real close to being done with it, which means next weekend I can install the glass (finally...). I know there's a few wrinkles, but I'm hoping they'll pull out a bit under tension.
I'm hoping the interior trim panels that go along the edge will pull the headliner up a bit, which would be perfect!
This has been a huge pain for me, getting this done. I'm much closer today than I was yesterday. Tomorrow I'll do even better!
Too bad I only had a few hours today. The weather is absolutely gorgeous! More of the same for tomorrow.
