John, Looking good!
My chassis color will be similar. I have attempted to pull in a pic of my final painted Jag IFS. (first time trying to pull in a photo-from my gallery). The color looks to have a blueish tint to it which it really doesn't. I thought about going with body color (red) for the calipers.

Edit: Ok I need help. How to change the photo from a URL to an actual photo?

2nd Edit: I apologize I also managed to post this in the wrong thread! Definately computer challanged here!

John , is that a Lokar set up you have there. I was looking for something like that for my parking brake setup

Looking very good by the way, top notch.

found my first major uh-oh today..... the e-brake cables run back to the rear axle and are clipped into a tab on the axle frame...



well between fabbing and final welding the tab got turned around and welded wrong... both of them....
so we grind off that pretty paint and fix it
...upside down... dang it

That's amazing Jon!

So much progress this year. And VERY nice!

I have to wonder if your wife isn't mad at you and making you sleep out in the garage?

"Tuner" did I miss something? What does fish have to do with this?
