Damn! I spent my lunch time going over two thousand posts all to find out it isn't done yet!

Very nice so far. I really like the color. I have to say I'm a bigger fan of the 15in slots though. Don't get me wrong, your set up looks killer and I dig your work for sure. Can't wait to see it on the road.

yes sir... perfectly buddy.

54Caddy · 01-15-2011, 11:06 PM

thanks dennis. Also for a porportioning valve what did you use. Does wilwood have anything to offer thatll bolt to the stock location. Im basically going to copy your brake system ahaha.

shenk10 · 01-16-2011, 11:06 AM

Thanks

here's the one i used http://www.classicchevy.com/chevy-di...LL-_-20-32-_-X
but i'd defiantly look into something adjustable like Ed is saying because i haven't had the chance to really smash on them to see if the rears lock up yet.

I know CCP has a disc/disc proportioning valve that bolts right to the stock location under the radiator. I have it on my '76 Blazer with the McGaughy 13" front and rear disc kits and it works fantastically.

Wilwood has a really cool adjustable p/v too that works as a distribution block for front and rear as well, but I don't think it would work in the stock location due to the knob for the rear brake bias adjustment. I have one of them on my '93 Mustang, and it works really well. The part # is WIL-260-11179 and I got mine from Summit.

menace121978 · 01-16-2011, 10:14 PM

thanks Adam! i NEED to get back on it man

For real. You don't have to desert us when you are just sitting in the house, you know.

menace121978 · 01-17-2011, 12:45 AM

i'm still here brotha!

shenk10 · 01-17-2011, 01:24 AM

Don't worry about it Dennis, just having the part number is fine. What all did you use to clean the engine before you primed it though? Hopefully I'll be doing that next weekend.

menace121978 · 01-17-2011, 08:59 AM

i used a case of cheapo brake cleaner from wally world and lots of rags. my motor was pretty clean to begin with. then just hit it with a scotch bright pad

menace121978 · 01-18-2011, 04:06 PM

i'm baaaack!!! i managed to get my butt in gear for most of the morning and i got the fender bolted in completely along with the battery tray. getting all the holes lined up was a pain! couple of pics of the key chain too

imsuchaman55 · 01-18-2011, 04:45 PM

alright!! that key chain turned out sweet. I cant wait to see this finished

JohnC · 01-18-2011, 05:51 PM
