Painted the Rear. Epoxy Primer.



Eastwood Ceramic Chassis paint, this stuff works great, I just wish it wasn't so toxic.



I started bolting things together. Not final, just trial fit.

Couldn't resist setting one of my wheels in place





Looks like the Currietrac upper control arm will need spacers.


This 12 bolt reproduction rear brake bracket won't work with the Moser rear. I guess the rear cover is much thicker on the Moser. I have never seen a stock 12 bolt in person so I have no feel for how much differect the Moser is compared to stock. Looks like I will be making a custom bracket.



A shot of the lower control arm.



Kore3 was unable to make their vintage racing kit work with my L&H spindles, so they are designing a custom setup for me. To recap my brake problems, I am using 16" wheels, so brake options are limited. I know I am giving up braking performace by using 16" wheels, but this project is not about max performace, just to create a good street car with much better performace than stock.

Here is a drawing showing the custom setup. It will use Gen 3 Corvette rotors and Wilwood Calipers.
