Pics don't seem to post tonight for some reason until about the 3rd try. Sharp car!

Hmmmm. . . . So maybe I can use this ploy for another car. Yeah, honey, this is YOUR car. I know you can't drive a stick, I will teach you. Yes, I know it is scary to drive, I will show you how. Yes, I know you like your Subaru, but this is better. Okay, I will just keep the oil flowing for you . . . . Yeah, just warm it up a little.

Any interior pics?

Here are the fronts that came with the lines:

BD,
Those are the calipers I used on my '71. Great for reducing unsprung weight. Whether they're better stoppers than stock is debateable. I do think they're better when it comes to rotor runout.
I really like 'em. And that '71 too.

They sure are put to the test with the Hydratech Hydroboost I put on her car. Wow, glad I had my seatbelt on when a hit the brakes at 40 mi/hr to test them. What's funny too is that the car didn't slide by locking up! Love them!

bd, I may have to go hydraboost also. Depends on how much vacuum I get out of this engine I built.

Sorry to pester you, but do you have any interior pics?

Also, the rear end of that beast of yours in the C-2 section is unreal!
SOLID!!

I had to go Hydaboost on my '66 with the tall valve covers I'm going to have to put on with the shaft rocker system. Can't wait to get that motor back in. I looked for interior picks the other day and couldn't find any on her car. Guess I'm going to have to take some after I wipe it down.

Vette looks very nice indeed.

What did you do with the exhaust cutouts, do you have a light and cover in them ?

Yes, I put trailer lights in the holes with backup, running, directional, and brake control, rather than filling. I liked the chrome frames around them and made my decision to keep them.

Our UPS driver showed up late tonight delivering parts for my '66 and bless his heart, gave my wife a model of her car he bought some time ago. Wow, what a great match for it!
