Picked up these bad boy Brembo's from a Mercedes clk black series a couple months ago, now the time has come to hang them!
Mocking up the brakes, making sure everything clears

Rear rotor and everything looks good so far

Front caliper mounts, just a few welds left and its complete



Mounted and complete, rears still need some work



Just for size comparison here are the factory front brakes compared to the Mercedes black series Brembo's

The rears

There will be more when I finish the rear mounts. The yellow is not staying, McDonald theme is so played out.Last edited by EasySpeed*Inc; 04-25-2014, 11:41 PM.sigpic

Its time to build a radiator shroud, Lets check it out

.065 aluminum sheet coupled with .065 aluminum angle

All edges will get the full attention to detail

love my cheap ass electric shears, best $15 ever spent

I scuff pad everything





Framed



Center then center punched

Center drill bits work wonders on thin shit like this

Now drill

Yes it will all be riveted, because rivets are badass

This is my favorite deburring style bit

Look at how damn nice that looks

More drilling

Mocked up for a visual

Electric fan has been marked and ready to be cut out




Machining threaded inserts for the electric fan to bolt to

Left the white protective film on to protect the outside

There will be more much moresigpic

I will be keeping the exterior paint OG, if I do decide to paint her there will be a color change. Thanks for the props and interest!Originally posted by acidlips242 View PostAwesome car, beautiful work. Will you be painting the entire car that same color or is it going to remain just a feature of the bay?Last edited by EasySpeed*Inc; 05-08-2014, 09:08 PM.sigpic

More lathe! Cutting threaded lugs for the mounts that will attach the shroud to the radiator.

Tap that shit


Drilling all the way through the side

1/4 stainless bar

Here they are all lined up and look pretty close, not bad for just a drill press

All 4 lugs for the shroud and all 4 lugs for the radiator cut and ready to be welded on

Fan shroud lug

These will be welded on the inside of the shroud

And the lug for the radiator


Time for rivets






That is about it for the shroudsigpic
