        You know what I am kind of on the fence with the size as well.. Its easy to make is smaller but I think I will hold off until the car is one color, proper height and the wing is installed so I can make a sound decision. But I love the overall design of it..

              • It will only be low enough when you are dragging that wood splitter on perfectly smooth roads.

                Also the car looks tots amazeballs.

                  • So no real updates from me really, car is just awaiting some parts to arrive so I can wrap up my brake lines.. At the moment all the front stuff is complete need to run the rear stuff now. After that is complete I can finally take it to the alignment.

                    For now tho here are some pics:

                        • Okay guys finally some update. I finally was able to finish my brake lines, with family life, work it was hard to get to the car. I just ordered parts every week until I had everything to smash it out in pretty much one day.



                          Before we get started I decided to showcase this Cognac instead of beer. (since I have not had a decent beer in month). Anyways, my mother In-law picked up this Hennessy Pure-White when she went on a cruise. They don't sale these state side so it was a treat. This is probably the smoothest Hennessy I have ever tried..



                          Okay, so I got a little OCD with the brake lines. I made bulk head fittings for the firewall and the rear wheel wells. This way if I need to do anything it well be quick and easy and over all its just a cleaner look.









                          Going to be running -3an lines and fittings..



                          Okay lets getting started, have to have my guilty pleasure





                          Started my installing the new -3an fittings on the BMC





                          added a little 90 degree bend right here so it would not hit my filter on my heads.



                          Added to bulkhead fittings here. One goes to the rear and the other goes to the passenger side.





                          This is the view behind the firewall to run to the passenger side.





                          And out the other side, did not want a lot of clutter in the bay..




                          Ran two Banjo fittings for the fronts..





                          Fronts are done..






                          To do the rears I had to make a tube straighter for the hard lines that go to the rear. Did not want to buy a $200 tool so made my own.. Came out good..



                          Started from the firewall and heading to the rear.



                          And yep found me some black hardline.. Just had to do it..





                          Coming up on the tee.. yeah I need to clean the car.. once everything is done interior will be cleaned



                          Here you will see both the tees for my MBC and my Hydro E-Brake





                          Had both sides running the the bulkheads in the wheel well..





                          Close up





                          And the other side of the wheel well






                          And rears done..


                          Now just have to bleed them and get ready to head to a alignment shop.. But before I go I will swap out my Clutch Master Cylinder for the Wilwood 7/8" master cylinder that Sikky sales. Reason for this is the OEM Cylinder can't handle the T56 clutch..

                          Tell next time guys..

                          • First off no update yet really... I ditched the overfenders I have for the front and rear and have some new ones being made fresh out of mold. Reason for this decision was due to available for replacement parts. Old overs were from NZ and would be hard to get spares so hooked up with a guy in the states.. So should have those soon.

                            Pics of the overs:
