Christmas in July, always love new parts. Looking good Rob, look forward to more progress updates.

So that's what was in those boxes! :lol: Oh, and 14 pages?

:ttiwop:

Glad you like the concept. If it was good enough for Richard Petty at Riverside it should be good enough for me at RTTC


Thanks the new Wilwoods are a work of art JMO.

It's always like Christmas :D as it seems like I'm always buying parts. Unfortunately Santa hasn't been forking out the cash.:(

Wayne. Sorry I missed you at C&C today hope I hope it was a good showing.


I can't hope to compete with the brake bling Dave scored a deal on. I'll just have to settle for this small stuff:lol:

So you're calling my Torino a truck? OK As RS and Summers & Sons showed trucks are really fast:unibrow:

Silly rabbit these are for the rears.:D I had a rear set up for a non floater and Mike at Wilwood was a huge help in working to get Speedway the right parts to use my stuff on the new floater. The new calipers are pretty cool with an internal crossover passage that eliminates the exterior stainless tubing.

The front will get matching 6 piston calipers with 14" rotors all the way around (yes 14 is overkill and yes in addition to my 19 or 20" rear wheels I know I'm adding unneeded unsprung weight)

So after seeing your car (pile of parts) :wow: I already have a parts inferiority complex and now you point I only have a 14 page build thread? That hurts:lol:

I'm gonna bet I have a running car before I hit 100 posts:P :rofl:

No problem Bryan. There were quite a few exotics to see.

Wayne, I'm not sure if you tried to call or not, but also sorry I missed you there yesterday. I got there early and took off early to head back south to stop by HRE. Hopefully we have time to meet up another time,

Matt

p.s. Rob, sorry for hijacking your thread.

No worries I'm gonna owe you big time when you hook me up with those GT seats.:rofl:

Phil and Chris sent me some progress pics.

This is my dirty old 390 sitting in the chassis but dimensionally it's identical to my AL Pond side oiler. It's sitting nice and low and back thanks to that shiney low profile Dailey dry sump.
The Wilwood 4 piston calipers and 14" rotors will look better when they are bolted to that Speedway mod-lite floater.
It's getting closer.

Looks sick Dog. :thumbsup: Do the frame rails extend out to the rockers on your love boat? :D

Sweet frame bro!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: What color are you powdercoating it?

The frame rails do extend all the way out to both port and starboard rocker panels. :unibrow:

The design of the floor allowed us to give the car/boat a wide platform with out a lot of modification to the original floor. We are going to be making mounts to tie in a roll cage to the frame rails as well which will give it much more strength than just going to the floor.
