Thanks man!! I bought a brake line kit from Rick Jones. I've used his stuff on most of my race cars and have been very happy with their service. All that stuff has to come apart to paint the spindles I just wanted to check how everything fit. good eye!!!!!

Thanks for the compliments!! Yes i'm going to run the skinny fronts with different tires. My buddy had these so we just put them on to get it on the ground. This car wont see the street much if any. Going to start plumbing the brakes tonight!!! I bought a new Rigid bender to make the job look better I hope!!!
ive been thinking about getting a vfn trunk. and i might buy this race craft wing but i dont think it will work with the way the trunk is made.

speed glass 1/8 11lbs

Thanks guys!!!! I'm glad im almost done with the car. I still need to decide on rear shocks. Then off to paint prison .I was looking at that wing myself. I think its killer!! I might run the sock hatch with lexan. It will depend on how heavy this junker is. I think that wing will work better with the stock hatch. My goal is to get the rolling chassis done by winter.
