Project DART VADER

-
finally got all my brake parts in and installed them for fitment. i ended up using Mustangsteves.com caliper bracket for the Mll spindle. 94-04 mustang Cobra rotors and calipers. 1975 mustang hubs with 2000 mustang gt rear studs on thoes hubs. All in all i was very worried about it adding track width to my set up. may ppl said it would add about 3/4 in on eash side but it really only added 3/16 on each side. seams to me they will do just fine.

Painted my A Arms,spindles and brackets. Ended up using a black rustolum hammered (not in a rattle can), sprayed out of a paint gun with a 1.8tip . i have used this stuff may of time on alot of stuff and i tell you it is as tough as nails.

They look great. Did you have to primer first with that stuff? or is it on direct clean metal?
 
Nice job! I concur with your idea of going with factory brakes. Like you, I wanted to walk into the local auto parts store and get replacement parts if need be.

I did the same. I went with Ford Granada rotors and Chevy metric calipers.
 
Wow, that stance is really nice! Bigger pictures next time though! ;)
 
That does look nice that low. I could not do that low around me. I live out in the country and would have to drive 30mph everywhere.
Nice job Cody.
 
car will mostlikely get raised bout 1/2-3/4inch.. sitting lil lower than 3.75 inches from ground rite now

Killer!......

what is the lowest point on the front?....not counting the sway bar connection to the control arms.
 
Love this build. You're doing a lot of stuff that I hope to do one day, probably when I'm too old to enjoy it.

i have a 12inch bar where the coilover goes and 26inch tall tire....
3 inches from the rack and pinion mounts, lowest point.

the sway bar is lower and i think i may try to see if it will work flipped on top of the mopunts some how. if not i will prob try to use the tube style that detroit speed and eng uses on there camaros and stuff. or just make my own.

this sway bar may be forsale idk yet.:burnout:
