Chris, I tried sending you the pictures yesterday via e-mail but it bounced twice. I tried PM but it your box is full. send me a PM with the address you want me to send them too.

Good catching up with you. Keep up the great work

M/C problem was @ El Toro.. Boiled the brake fluid & the M/C was by-passing fluid... Got that fixed.. but while testing here on my street & throwing the car around.. I could feel the pedal going down.. The floater will resolve that issue..

Just think! The $$ that you spent on that little red C6 Corvette.. You could have got a floater, new transmission, LS7 & hired a real pro driver to show us what that black 69 could really do!

I was @ the Chevrolet dealer last week... I almost walked out of their with a Carbon Edition Z06! I wanted it so bad but my daughter was @ the shop & asked when I am going to finish her car..

That is why I have my own paint shop... Just scuff it & paint again!

Cool, I PM'd Brian, the SCCA is having an event on Sunday at the speedway as well. I'm sure it will be a much larger course than the MATS deal.

Chris, I must have had a mental block......I don't know why I didn't think to post them for you. Here you go Bro.

I have no more weekends left to fuss around -- My Brother in Law is going to kill me if I don't get his Big nasty azz blower car off my lift! I should have the AME Ford 9" from them this week -- then I have floors to fab up... and get this pig out of my shed!

Besides ---- I have to save my time for the Monaco Grand Prix... Bondurant asked me to put a rose on turn 12 (where he got married) for him...

Vegas who?

Here is a little step by step on how the conversion is going on BB. We are using just about everything we can minus the axles, ends, and parking brake for now.

Start - Original setup

When we first started running the car the brakes were working great… Then we started running the car hard with all the testing & tuning & knew we were having knock back issues.. so when took the diff apart & found we had more issues going on than we thought.. Jason just sent me some pics o f the rear rotors… With all the clamping force & knock back going on.. we were cracking the mounting tabs on the rotors…

Advise guys! If you plan on running a car as hard as we have been lately.. update to a floater rear or just keep the floating calipers.. I will now incorporate rotor check on my safety list before I take car out & run it hard..
