I'm asking for an invoice I want to make sure the quicktime order says FE not LS

Get the Agent 47 Forgelines. They're just the right blend of old and new for that car!

Too bad they only make them in 18" otherwise that is what I wanted to run new style old shcool.

So the second choice, as of now, is the GZ3.

I figured I'd relax and watch some inspirational videos.



Then I got professional help to visualize what I think I'm building.



Now I guess I'll just keep throwing $$$ at it.

Ok, now I get it. Was trying to picture what a big fastback would look like in the PT them. Im on board. Liking it. lol. Just a poke as you just left my house full of Bench Racing. Nice meeting you in person.

Glad you like the concept. If it was good enough for Richard Petty at Riverside it should be good enough for me at RTTC

Christmas in July, always love new parts. Looking good Rob, look forward to more progress updates.

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.

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
