All street cars need parking brakes. What would you do in the winter when you run into the convenience store, and want to keep the heat running?

I now have to go look and see if USCA has an E Brake rule.... if they don't - maybe they should.... I think it's a legal requirement as a piece of safety gear on a "street" car.

The Miata has one.... LOL

Glad to see you're moving forward again Payton!

If its not mandatory Greg, it should be. What happens if you need to get out and adjust your kids car seat at V.I.R., or need to vacuum all the dirt out of the car after an offroad adventure like Jeff Cleary always needs to do. A chunk of 2x4 just ain't cool.

Thanks guys!

Some parts have been used and some have been new. My braking system is all new stuff and so is all of the suspenion. As an expample, the rods that I have for the motor are $3600 new. I got them from Roush with 3 test dyno pulls when they were working on bore and stroke combinations...$600.
Do you consider that used or tested? I call it a bargin.

Ron Sutton is working with me for front and rear suspension design and car set-up.

Which goes right into my next few pictures of the decoupled 3 link mock up. Sutton took my information and made a blueprint for the install. After installing the housing mount I had see what it looked like.
