My drop spindles had crappy g-body brakes, i found a company called flynbye performance that made hubs that allow a vette rotor, and i drilled the spindles for the caliper brackets and cut a spacer for proper fitment. cant wait to stand on them and see how much better they are over 10.5" discs and drums!

I'll throw one in to the thread. This was all done in my 2 car garage. Everything but the headliner.

Before...



DURING...









After...




Get out there and do it. Consider it therapy. It kept me out of the bars!

Ive built quite a few vehicles out of small garages with no lift.. I was mid way through an F100 desert truck, but I took the mustang out to the track and got bit with the bug to really fix her up, so against the wall the truck went and I tore back into the mustang!

Not at my home, but at my airport hangar. Disassembly, Chasis, body work, engine, assembly. The only things that got done out side of my hangar- rented spray booth, exhaust and upholstery. Oh Ya, had it dyno'd at Westech. Check out my build thread

Very nice you two. Glad to see this thread still getting replies. I'm also glad to see the SS hood being used on your car, Mike.
