Started out today by getting a plate made and getting the E-Brake system figured out.....made a plate and mounted the Lokar brackets to it, positioned it on the frame and bolted eveything together...........Took it apart, painted the plate, cut and fit the cables and Bingo.......E-Brakes







Then I started at the front of the car and put the thru frame brake line fittings in and hooked up the front brake lines........now I need to put in the hard lines......Tomorrow.....





Then I dropped the engine in to just double check everything......I also notched the crossmember for more clearance around the alternator and A.C. compressor.....worked out perfectly

I have joined to be a kwizz supporter on here. Had to modify my handle a little as there are a lot more "canucks" now with the Olympics.
