11/26/2006 - Thinking About Wheels, Engine Hoist Deal, and Brakes |
|
| Not that I am ready but I keep thinking about what wheels to go with on the car. I will obviously be replacing the old aluminum slots with something new but not sure what. | |
 
One of my favorites so far are the Cobra 427 (TOP) and Cobra III design. The semi-open design looks nice and is similar to the original Cobra wheels. |
Another favorite is the American Salt Flat. This design
will cover up the stock rotors up front and the SN95's in the back which
is fine. It's a balance between vintage and modern to me. |
 I've also looked at the FR500's and they do look nice. My only concern is that with a 17" or 18" rim such an open wheel might look out of place with stock front rotors and the smaller SN95 rears |
|
 I've been wanting/needing a 'Cherry Picker', or Engine Hoist as it's officially called, for some time now and liked the price on this one from Pep Boys. Final price is $99 which is $50 cheaper than I've seen before. Now I can drop the empty block and TKO in for a test fit and trans cross member fab and mock up the EFI configuration. |
 Finally found another caliper for the passenger side. I know, they don't look the same but they will get painted anyhow. I also finished the emergency brake cable mounts and painted/installed them. |
