Took my non-full floater brakes, and adapted them to the full floater housing,e-brake and all. Had to cut the center out of the hat, drill it for the floater hub, used the center 5 mounting holes, and the 8 outer holes on the rotor adapter supplied by Moser. Had to make a steel bracket with the big Ford bolt pattern to weld to the housing, which gave the backing plate something to attach to, turned out pretty good.














The rear center section I got has a cooler pump built into it, so I put a deck mounted cooler on the floor that I will plumb the cars side vents into. I also got the Ridetech shocks on, which I think will be a big improvement over what I had.

Got the new 5/8" studs in, still can't beleive the ARP stud head popped while torqueing the wheels (the head is tiny), kind of scary. I think I'll get used to the locker, its just different.

OK, anybody that runs in the American Street Car Series needs to send me cash. It is now a guarantee that any event that I attend, will not have rain or any inclement weather. Because I now have windows and weather stripping, what is this world coming to.

Very awesome build , but $5,000 is an unrealistic amount . But maybe you know something I don’t lol. Going to be nice when done either way!

Amazing job. Especially considering it started with a $400 car!
