Mark...... I wonder if you would have some input on brake line size. I know a lot of your recent builds have ABS. What size brake line do you use? I'm using the DSE master (GM part) and booster on my 69 ...I will be making all my own brake lines and was looking to use 3/16" for the entire car. I know GM used 3/16 in the front (disc brakes) but ran 1/4" to the rear? Could you shed some light on what you normally do with your cars?? Thanks in advance.

On my builds I do 1/4 lines to the ABS module and 3/16 to the corners. In general if you copy what GM does it will work. GM and most OEMs are either cheap, worried about safety or durability. For ABS the bigger line is need to supply the volume of fluid needed for the ABS module. For a passive system that you are not gong to track 3/16 for everything should be good. If I was going to track the car with big brakes I would do 1/4 to the tee for the front and rear systems, Then 3/16 to the corners.

How about going to some thing like this for paint with matte black accenting, paying homage to the original hugger orange. Would love to see this combo on a 69.

The hard part is designing a one off bezel. Dakota Digital made the process very easy.

It is available to anyone.

Another issue with big power cars on open track days is brake cooling. I did big brake cooling ducts on Hellfire and they worked great. I did not do brake cooling ducts on Gunner and Jackass and those cars brakes felt soft on track and they killed brake pads.

We looked a few options on this car. Option one add cooling duct to the center of the front turn signal.






I kinda liked it but I felt we need more air flow. Modify velocity stacks.





Now I gave a 5 inch opening that will funnel air down the hydra formed DSE frame rail and dump air on the brakes.

Mark, What has been your experience with the Hooker Black Heart exhaust system designed by Holley for the 69 Camaro with DSE sub and Quadralink? Does it fit in nice, any mods needed to make it work? I'm running and LT4 with all Holley mounts/crossmember. Did you use the Hooker system on your last build (LT4) ??
