Aerospace makes nice stuff for sure....I have planty good brakes though, Wilwoods in all four corners. My problem was due to improper brake fliud, glazed rotors (I inspected them yesterday) and driver stupidity.

We all make stupid mistakes.. I made one today.. Scratched up most of the right rear of my Race '68

I pulled the trailer out of the garage so that I can drive the '68 into the garage to pull the engine.. I have a bed frame in the back of the garage.. Somehow, the bed frame fell onto the race car and when I pulled the car forward, it made pretty nasty scratches all along the rear 1/4 of the car
I'll need a paint job at one point anyways, so it's not that bad. Maybe I'll put some stickers on top...
I'll post a thread about that shortly..
