Maybe this is the best build around here, so simple, yet so awesome, not a lot of details, only the needed amount, it's a total win. Congratulations Chris. JCG does an amazing job.

Sweet Ride what mirrors are you running on the car they look good

They are off a 70 Mustang..

Cris,

What's new on BB as you get it ready for delivery? :thumbsup:

Hint-we kinda like pics/vids here.

Skip- I have been busy putting some miles on the little 68.. driving up & down the Coast.. Going to Malibu & taking two hour lunches .. Sometimes 3 depending on Santa Barbra traffic on the way back to the shop.. I got about 800 miles it.. Getting pulled over by the CHP & getting fix it tickets for not having a front license plate.. CA on ramps are fun! The owner said to drive it & make sure that she is road worthy!

All kidding aside.. Uhhh! We are getting the car ready for Run to the Alamo Event.. Fixing a few things that the car needs before we start abusing it on track..
Finally got the fuel gage from Spek, fixed the rear end vent by building a remote tank @ a higher level, Exhaust was hitting slightly, finish Stereo system, interior, trunk interior.. Chassis dyno tuning!

I got the parking brake cables done today.. I got them to work great.. I can apply the p-brake with the car in gear & will shut the car down.. P-brakes are pain to get them to work correct.. but I used a Honda Accord lever with a few machined pcs. For a balance bar system.. & lots of adjusting & measuring.. got tons of leverage from the Honda lever.. which a Lokar lever does not have.. Routing of cables are very important too..

I have to replace the brake booster or convert to manual brakes! Not looking forward to that but we will see how that goes.. We got tire rub on the inboard side of the inner fender wells on suspension compression… We will be fixing those two things this next coming week..

We will be renting the Camarillo Airport for a day during the week to shake the car out in mid January.. That will be fun! I will be doing some traveling this year with the car to attend all the race events going on .. Gotta support what we built!

I will post videos as we do some dyno tuning & testing @ the Camarillo Airport soon..

We got a lot of things going on behind the rear-end!

I got a surprise for you Skip! Ben Hermance is working on it for me this week..

Cris- I would think you get lots of offers to have lunch in Malibu...they're so bored with their Ferraris, Lambos and of course Panganis.... ;)

Seriously, that's some great progress obviously with some more hills to climb. Brakes specifically (maybe a broad generalization here) but it seems like they offer their fair share of challenges on many serious pro-touring builds...

Rutt row! :wow:



:lol:

Cris,

Are you going to be in the shop Monday, the day after Christmas?

I am picking up some lightweight parts for my falcon in Camarillo. I thought I would stop by if you guys are there.

Bryce- We will be here on Monday.. Well @ least I will be .. Call me to let me know you are on your way.. Just in case I am not out on my 2 to 3 hour lunches with the 68.. :D

HAHA, alright will do.
