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 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.

Matt
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

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

Silly rabbit these are for the rears. 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) I already have a parts inferiority complex and now you point I only have a 14 page build thread? That hurts

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