[QUOTE=jprevat;4279998]What all do you have planned for the final product? From the looks of whats out back it should be pretty awesome./QUOTE]
Got to fab in the twin turbos yet. Will be ready for like 500 ft. lbs. of torque according to the desktop dyno program.

I hate these drum brakes. I want discs. But don't want to fool with the master cylinder booster and swapping rear axles to get them right now.
I hate whoever decided to put disc/drum brakes on... The PO didn't realize it had pads and shoes so he only replaced the pads.... Needless to say when I replaced everything the shoes weren't really shoes anymore lol... I also almost overlooked it but we decided to replace the rotor as well and that's when it became pretty obvious we had both. First time I've seen that on a vehicle before

i'm given to understand drums make much better parking brakes. they're also easier to use as such from a manufacturing standpoint. I guess that's why they have them.

It is a 5.4 and it has the 9.75. This thing is just obnoxious.

people argue black vs chrome vs mixed rims. but i'll always say- a nice shade of gray is so much better. pretty unique too. looks good.
