Looks like the alternator change wasn't the first one you've done on there either! Wild guess but maybe $600 for parts?

Yes you are pretty close with your estimate Carl. Alternator was a reman AC Delco piece of junk. I bought a new 300 amp one off eBay

300 amp should cover it!

Sad to see the Delco reman stuff quality deteriorating. Some of it's still great but I see some stuff that is clearly Chinese junk.

I made an epoxy coffee table for my wife For Christmas. Embedded the flowers from her wedding bouquet in the centre. 
Damn epoxy sure isnt cheap. Its a full 2.5 inches thick and took 72 hours to cure for each epoxy pour, which required 2 pours. Im still learning how to perfect this whole epoxy thing but Im getting there.

Got the frame back together on the 1998 Silverado, just waiting on the welder to show up. It went together fairly easily, looks pretty good. 

Used my summer tires off the Tacoma while painting the Chevy rims.

We had a "skiff" of snow since Friday AM. Snowed non stop from Friday till 2 AM this morning. The one pic has 7 feet of snow piled on my septic bed, the other is the snow hanging off my roof, about 3', waiting to fall...

Merry Christmas... DON'T wish for a White Christmas...LOL

Started to stage for the frame teardown.

 

I'm not much of a partier so this will be my New Years Eve Party this year.

I should get some good progress done this weekend.

 Randy will you dip or sand blast, powder coat or paint?

I am just down the road from one of the best commercial sand blasters in the province.

Franklin's, in Woodstock.

They will blast and epoxy prime.

After the body guy fixes the rear of the frame he will paint.

Once everything is ready, back to my shop for reassembly.

When I sent my frame out for acid dip and epoxy enamel I used a heavy hammer and some alphabetic punches so that i could identify the frame when it came back.  The punch characters where placed in two different locations easily found if the vehicle ever was stolen.

Just a security measure for the future.

Now I'm ready for those snowfalls that are too light to take the blower out but too much snow for those little department store pushers that move so little. I know I won't push it when the tub gets loaded with that heavy wet snow but those snowfalls aren't that common here. And if it doesn't work, if my design and build is a total fail, at least I had fun in the garage part of yesterday and today and all I'm out is some scrap metal and a little bit of mig welder wire/gas. It detaches from the dolly in about 30 seconds if I need the dolly, which wasn't modified at all.

That'll probably work Carl. Love it!

Spray the inside with some silicone, and make loud engine sounds for maximum clearing power.

I made lots of engines noises when I rode my bike as a kid, I'm sure I can still do it! Good suggestion, I hadn't thought of that. My neighbour will love it if I do that, he's a fun character!

I'll have to get some silicone spray, great idea! Likely better than wiping it down with motor oil...!

I'm thinking of making one for you, not that you ever need it because it's always sunny and +30 there...
