And I finally got my brakes ordered. I was dead set on running 6 piston Baer brakes but unfortunately my wheel specs, spindle and clearance won't allow for it. Its a long story, but my only option was to either rehoop my front wheels (800 a piece) and use my ATS spindles and Baer Brakes. Or I can go with Wilwood using stock spindle. Even the Wilwood are going to require me to switch over to a taller Forgeline center cap in order to clear the hub dust cap. In short, the pad on my wheels were machined down to have a deeper offset, this killed the caliper and hub clearance..live and learn. Good news is I can still run 14" rotors with the Wilwood, so I am sure it will stop just fine lol.[/QUOTE]

What backspace did you end up ordering the wheels?

I also purchased A DSE dash insert to begin the thoughts and overall layout for my dash panel. Not much progress here outside of the switch panel that you see a couple of photos of. I found a source for very high quality switches with a huge assortment of labels that illuminate. Overall a very OEM look. If anyone needs the information just let me know and I will pass along.

Where did you get the light switch panel? Very nice touch.

Just went to the site & poked round on the 'demo' model. Very nice!

I agree, cool ideas when you need a rocker switch versus the standard switches out there.
