Default Wilwood Front Brakes

I finally recieved my front Wilwood Brakes after a 2 month wait.. 14" 2 piece rotors, 6 piston polished calipers. I plan on either anodizing or powder coating the calipers blue. Im leaning more towards anodizing the calipers. what do u guys think?

Here is a little update on the stang.. I should be done with most of the metal fab in a few months. I plan on seam welding the entire chassis, welding and metal finishing floor pan seams, redoing(fixing) the shaved drip rails, shaved cowl, smoothed fire wall, ect....... I had a body shop shave the driprails, cowl and firewall a couple years ago. This was before I had any metal fab knowledge. A few day ago I got out my 7" sanderd and decided to see how good of a job the body shop did. The job looked good but I wanted to know what it looked like under the body filler. After sanding the body filler the drip rails didnt look that bad, but I will have to do some more metal fab to get them just right.. As for the cowl and firewall Im just going to cut out the previous work and redo it.

Default rotisserie

Im just about finished with the rotisserie that im fabricating. Ill post some pics within the next few days. Once the rotisserie is complete, I can finish up the chassis metal fab work on the stang. I also finally recieved my rear brakes from Wilwood after a 12 week wait..

Yeah that rotisserie kept me busy for a few days. Hopefully now that the rotisserie is done I can get some work done on my car.. Im still not 100% sure on what im going to do for the interior. I will probably fabricate a sheet metal dash and center counsel with carbon fiber inlays. Im going to use some type of racing seats either Cobra, Corbeau, or Sparco. I also want to have carbon fiber inlays for the door panels.

I got a little more progress this weekend. I stripped all the seams on the car. Next step is to bust the welder out and start seam welding..

Any thoughts of making a outer rail at the rockets and connecting it to your sub frame.If so global west has a kit http://www.globalwest.net/1964-73%20...rlo%20bars.htm
they want you to use there sub frame connectors but you could make it work for you with a little cutting.

Thanks for the info. I thought about using the outer rail kit, but with sub-frame connectors, roll cage and seam welding I dont think I need it.
