Oh and you may have noticed the front cab braces look oem and that’s because they are. A while back I picked up some used ones in decent shape that were worth repairing.

Those pics certainly represent a decent sized hunk of your life. I say, time well spent. No other way to do it than to make it all fit snug and tight! The nice work continues.

Hello there everyone, I am currently working on finishing off the brakes. Ok so as you have seen all the callipers, rotors, pads, e-brakes, most of the lines and booster are all sorted out I haven’t posted anything about a master cylinder yet. Well folks because of the big GT350R brakes I put on it I have to run the GT350 master and booster and yes I bought the booster although I didn’t want to use the master because firstly I don’t like the way it looks. It just doesn’t fit. Secondly the lines are too big for a smooth transition down to 3/16 lines and they are on the wrong side for the setup. Ok so while many people choose wilwood I’m not very impressed with their kits and I think their masters are general, basic and the idea of plugging one side looks silly. Don’t get me wrong they work and I definitely not condemning anyone who use them it’s just my personal preference. Anyway now that I’ve probably made some enemies on here lol maybe I can ease your anger with possible a conversion to BAER brake master cylinders. CNC’ed from billet aluminum you can choose left or right ports, they come in many different anodized colours, integrated proportioning valve and more. Anyway now that I’ve talked so highly of them unfortunately for me they don’t make an adapter for the newer mustangs for at leas a couple reasons so surprise surprise guess what I did lol. Well it was no easy task and since I’ve been typing for way too long I’ll spare you the boring explanation of the hurtles of making work and just start uploading some pictures.

After I finish the brake lines and bleeding I might have to take it for a quick spin 🥳🥳🥳 I don’t think she’s moved under her own power for at least twenty years so I don’t think I’ll be able to wait until it’s completed lol
