So glad you are doing this. "STANCE" is more than just a side profile. Others would have simply narrowed the rear, mini tubb'd, and sucked the tires under the car to make them fit. Though it looks impressive, its nowhere near as impressive in my mind as a wider "STANCE" made possible by pushing the tires out towards the edge.

[QUOTE=GrabberGT;497574]So glad you are doing this. "STANCE" is more than just a side profile.

Chris, thanks for the compliments towards Brett. This was forced upon him in some ways---but he always seems to find a way to overcome whatever the issue is. In this case the wheels had to be spaced out .25 to clear the new brakes---who woulda thought since the fronts clear just fine---but Brett is persistent and always seems to find the way through to make it work. Hopefully, the biggest challenges are now behind us and reassembly will be mostly straight forward.

thanks Tones! Can't wait to see the finished product! I mostly did it because I couldn't handle the drum brake questions any longer. Brett and I came up with a good response that I continued to use up until the car went under the knife----"I'm testing these one off mono-block drums from Baer and it's cured my knockback problem". "Just waiting to convert the fronts now".

Most people asked what a mono-block was--

So, at least brakes match now--and the Chicayne Speedtech Floater will take care of any knockback problems I may have had. I have to say, I will miss being part of the drum brake one legged Jihad team (DBOLJ). I'm no longer original.

Amazing stuff Doug and Brett!
Dude--good to see you on here! I won't ask about the line of motors at Mast--but hope you will comment on where yours might be in that lineup anyways. After that it's time for some track days and having some serious fun with these things.
