Default Hard brake pedal??

Maybe I have figured out the problem. Throw the stock ones away and use something a lil better.

no, don't do it that way, now there's no money for gas and rent.

Seriously though, can you get that booster in there and close the hood?
I put C5 brakes on my 86, and it stops pretttty darn good now........
the way a corvette that weighs 3100 pounds should stop!!

Well that wasn't cheap. It should stop on a dime from 150 and give you back $0.09

What diameter rings did you get??
I forget is this drag racing only car? I remember your rear end build out post.

What size rims are you using then? Gotta be 18 or 19?
what backspace?

Looks great. Any tricks on getting the rings and hats together, or just time consuming.

Guess Jeff give it away.


It's just a color that I think compliments the rear of the car.

ok, that just looks mean!!!!!!!

With the 19" rims aren't you worried that the really tiny sidewall will cause issues at the track?

Stunning!! Absolutely stunning!! Those calipers really stand out, but not too much (if that makes any sense). Perfectly accented.

Wanna drive up and do my car? Ohio isnt too far for you.
