interested in renting that thing out to me at all?

well I just got done reading all 36 pages and i must say that I am very impressed.  It is giving me many ideas about my 77 that I am about to start.  my only input is to go with the track setup.  I just got done putting this same setup on a project we have been doing in my shop on a (GASP) chevy C10.  I did all the powder coating myself as it was all polished but we decided the motor needed a little color to break up some of the chrome. Here is a pic of it installed.  Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing this project through.

haha no way you could always call Butler performance and ask them about it. i'm sure they will give you all the info. i think, it's made by WFO products, but i'm not sure...

ok, the serp belt kit is ordered and on it's way 

[SnapOnBilly]

i decided to start on the rear of the car since my serp belt kit didn't come on Friday...






...so nothing to exciting, just dissasembled everything and took a good look at what i needed to do. not too bad, just dirty. i'll be working on it today as well. i have all the parts for the suspension and rear brakes, so it should go together nicely with no issues (hopefully  )

funny how many ingnorant bends they put in them brake lines ehy? im sure this will turn out really nice too.

I guess I never noticed the brake lines are solid all the way to the caliper.   is there enough play in the line to change the pads? or do you have to disconnect it and then bleed the brakes when done   

[SnapOnBilly]

  ya know, now that you mention it, you're right. i don't know whythey put so many bends in those lines! it was the first year for 4 wheel discs, so maybe it wasn't thought out very well?
  yeppers! straight lines ALL THE WAY to the calipers! pain in the a$$ to change rear brakes. some people would just carefully bend the lines when removing the calipers and leave them connected, others just took the lines off, and bled the rears when finished.
