I thought i would start a thread on my car here. I'm planing a lot of upgrades for the car in the future. i figured i'd list them all here so i can keep track of everything and keep everyone updated. i just got the car back from body shop not to long ago and im excited to start working on it. so far other than the body work. i've replaced rims and tires, and welded the mufflers up.
i just got most of the parts yesterday from summit and local parts store for my next project "BRAKES and DRIVE LINE"
New calipers (stock, until the twin piston calipers i want are off backorder)
New rotors (cross drilled and sloted)
New drums
New wheel cylinders
Drum hardware kits
New stainless steal brake lines
New ceramic pads
New master cylinder
New brake booster
ATE super blue brake fluid
New Shocks all around (sensa-trac)
New wheel bearings and seals for all 4 corners
New moser engineering axle shafts
Locking gas cap (guess why i need this)
question: do i need any special tools to change any of these except for the rear wheel bearing puller?
i think while i'm in the axle i'll rebuild the whole thing and put some different gears in it just not sure what kind yet. this is gonna be a fun project not sure when its gonna start because im still waiting on the axle shafts, rear shocks, and brake booster......and in the next week or two im ordering pro touring f-body's Performance front end rebuilt kit and installing that
I'm also gonna do a before and after stopping distance from 60 mph. I'm curious to see how much all this helps
Next I'm either taking the engine and trans out. fixing the leaks, striping the 3+ layers of paint off the engine, and repaint it, or welding some new floor pans in and finishing the interior
here's what i have so far
