Started with the brakes since the weather has been nice, got the dual caliper brackets on, new rotors and now equip with 4 rear calipers also changed out the front abs knuckles for modified non abs

What's the size of the tubes you use for the front bumper bars? Sketch and diameter? Thanks!

I used 1.5 tube but again that is all preference, as long as it's strong that's what matters.

Thanks a lot for the quick response.

So I forgot to slip the transmission spacer on when I last put the motor in, so I had to pull everything out do that and while I had the engine out I thought I would paint the bay again since it was scratched and ruined from a brake fluid leak and tool marks. I even made new corner windows out of stronger less brittle lexan, much cleaner than before. Heat wrapped the downpipe, throttle cable, made a catch can and plumbed 95% of the lines.



-10 oil return to 1/2 NPT for the block



1st coat



I had this piece of 3'' stainless left over from my exhaust and these 3'' die cuts a friend made for me so I made this catch can. I think I might paint it textured black with a rubber coating I found.





Wrapped the upper portion of the downpipe that runs close to the booster







Cut and ran these lines for the catch can and for the fuel cell







These new windows are much more resistant to cracking and scratching









These lines come pretty close to the exhaust housing but I think I will use a smaller radius bender and tuck them closer to the master



Almost there
