Re: Mikes 72 Build page
I tore everything off the frame this weekend.. there is only the very front brace ,rear brace and frame rails.. Now i just have to sand and paint then assemble.. I'm gonna try and get some pics tonight.. Anyone use stainless bolts to put things like xmembers, enging mouns and suspension or should i stick with grade 8 bolts? I would like to get everything painted and back together to a rolling chassis by next week.. We'll see what the wife thinks of that though

Re: Mikes 72 Build page
I got the first coat of primer on the frame tonight.. I kinda like the silver, i'm almost thinking of getting silver topcoat and just use the black for the suspension.. Anyone out there have a silver frame? Whats everyone think?

Re: Mikes 72 Build page
I like the chassis to have some contrast... I would keep the silver rails and black components.

Re: Mikes 72 Build page
Only thing is the brake lines and stuff are goin g to be stainless and i would like a little contrast with the stainless lines.. with the silver frame it would blend a little.. Speaking of the brake lines here are mine tha i recieved today.. The look great!!!

Re: Mikes 72 Build page
I got my rear disk setup last night, looks pretty cool.. Its only 12" not the 13 or 14" like everyone is talking about.. But it is rear disks
, wilwood rotors and caddy e-brake calipers. I just have to have about 3/8" turned off my axels so the hat will fit over it and get everything installed.. Hopefully this weekend, I'l post some pics of the parts tonight..

Re: Mikes 72 Build page
questions:
How much $$$ was that ART rear setup? Does it come with the notch plate? Is the notch bolt-in or weld in? How much drilling on the frame was required to bolt this up?

Re: Mikes 72 Build page
Looks like the kit from Speedway......is that right mike? Don't see the weld-on bracket in the pic. I have the same kit on mine and so far it works great and you can get different rotors (slotted) that will bolt to that hat. I just haven't figured out how to hook up my E-brake yet.
...and I had to get my hat machined to fit my hub as well.

Re: Mikes 72 Build page
Yea its a speedway kit.. I havent got it welded up yet, but it is pretty strait forward.. I think of all the kist out there it is the most reasonable and uses avalible gm and wilwood parts..
Shift: The rear setup was $1600.00 and yes it comes with the bolt in notch.. There is about 8 or 10 holes per notch to drill. Sactojim: did you have to grind the top of the ear on the brake pad to get the bolt to slide through? I guess depending on the pads you might or might not.. I do ..
