69 GTO Build

[Fastmonty]

Gus,

I hope you had a good weekend. I didn't get much done, due to the little man keeping me awake at night. Anyway, I owe you some responses... One, your shop lighting looks fantastic. It looks like you installed a piece of the sun. While us Californian's might have great weather, everyone else seems to have nice large shops, and/or outside work areas. Which makes me jealous.



Two, I'm not concerned with your tall spindles and Corvette mounting points. I know GlobalWest has a few different upper A arm options. As for the brakes, I'm pretty sure Most Big Brake brake kits on the market are modeled after Corvette rotors. So, mounting calipers to your mounting points should be easy, I'm 100% confident they have Corvette mounting options.

Lastly, the Black powder coating on the rotors is standard from Willwood. (I wish I was smart enough to claim that as my idea, but I can't... ha, ha)

Have a great week!

Mike

Good info. Thanks Mike. From all the info you and Eric have passed on to me, I think I'll be calling Eric at GW as my first resource as I move forward with project 442 konekilr. Thinking of changing the name of the project... won't be used for autocross as much as a road car and maybe a track day here and there since I have the Miata. Something ELSE to think about!!

Well got the youngest daughter moved in yesterday... miserable, hot and humid, but did get some angle iron cut up for the vertical support for leveling before I start the frame mods. Frame is stripped of body and suspension, raised on jack stands in prep for welding the levelers on. Hope to do so this afternoon. Not much to see but attached pic anyway.

btw: Yes, ABC did include the coil over shock mount components with the mini tub frame mod kit. Discovered when I finally opened everything in the box. Everything looks nicely made and the instructions are very good, but slow and steady will be the rule with plenty of time to allow the frame to cool as I go.

Thanks again Mike. btw: Nice of you to stay up with the little guy so the Mrs. can sleep... I'm sure she appreciates it. Mine did!



You have a good week also.
