I couldn't find an off the shelf package available with the brakes I wanted, so I built it myself. 3.50 31 splines, Moser housing and axles, Wilwood 4R 13 inch brakes with internal parking brake. Gotta love bolting together all new parts! :G-Dub:

Front brakes installed: Wilwood 6R C6 - 14 inch rotors. Completely worth the 6 week wait!

A member asked me about how the Anvil front valance fit and I realized I hadn't shared what I did here. Below are the pics showing how I modified a stock lower valance to support the grill behind the Anvil valance. I added tabs on each side that get sandwiched between the headlight support and front inner wheel well for strength. I also did cut off the lower valance support from the bottom of the hood latch support. The grill gets installed before the Anvil valance as the valance incorporates the front bumper.

Ridetech subframe connectors and rear end installed. Just need to drill the holes and install the reinforcing bolts in the sides of the front subframe.

Did I mention I hate body work? Hate it. But it turned out pretty good with a few 3M products and a lot of patience!

I'm right there with you lol. I've painted a few of my cars, and it's a LOT of work, and talent to get it straight and end up with a quality job. You're doing a great job!

All that prep work is what makes the paint job though. Worth it!!
