This Week I finley did it i pushed my engine out of the way and started woking on my junk yard geni, Happly Named

Frankie Jr… well now has been renamed to Frankie Jr … 2.0  i took all the guts and crap out of it old frame and put it all onto a new 2 wheel dolly the converts to a 4 wheeler … i have mounted it on to it the 1200 watt gen, a refer starter and ….. a 60amp alternater out of a 86 chev truck… thats so i can recharge my car battery

well have a look its not quite finished yet i still have to paint and put panels on it and fix a lil problem with the altanator bracket but it runs and charges the battery…

From the beginning i was going to TRY to put at least one more altenator on my new engine from day one i have been looking at ways to put it on… well good news .. i found a way and belive it it only took me 1hr to assemble all i needed for it

i had to lenthen a bolt to fit.. i had to make a spacer and cut off a peice of old air pump bracket and drill a hole..

took me better part of a month to get that far thou.. so this is what i have this is including the belt back on…

Were Alt #1 Is Is Were The Air Pump Whuold Be If The Truck Had One… now all i have to do is get it all buttoned up and ready for its new home
