Brake upgrade

Reply #46
Decided to upgrade the brakes.  Wilwood 6 piston in the front, and 4 piston in the rear. The spot caliper on the rear is the parking brake.  The body is finished, but I can't install it until April 5.  My job keeps getting in the way!  I'll have the car at the Knott's Berry Farm show in Anaheim on April 28 and 29.  If you are in the area, stop by.  John

Since it's not licensed yet, I just taken it up and down the block a couple of times.  The acceleration is "breathtaking".

BTW, the color is Ford redfire pearl, and the stripes are a BMW color that the painter selected.

Sick.  I've always wanted to build a badass aluminum headed 331 mill for a car.  It's such an underestimated motor.
