Car back home in my shop for assembly. This is the car I did the thread with the 3rd member build and rear drum brake build.

I'd just like to say @Shane Kelley  that the cleanliness and neatness of your shop are mirrored in the excellence of this build.   :perfect10: :bravo:

I always find it odd the aftermarket brakes hang the calipers off the back instead of off the front  :huh:

Have wondered that as well. In my opinion as far as functionality is concerned the calipers are clamping onto a rotating surface. So there would be no difference at any orientation or position. However, the way I see it OEMS have to cover all climate conditions. The rotors would be able to expel more rain water with the calipers in forward position. In the rearward position, the rotors would still retaining more water.

Nonsense I fill my head with.

Often they will interfere with the sway bar in front , swap the spindles & change calipers & it all mounts up front anyway

Moving along. Grills in and scoop buttoned up.  Sound deadener in the trunk and thermal barrier on the inside of the roof. 15x7 and 15x8 cop wheels installed. This will be the finished look on the wheels. No hubcaps. Still need to make adjustments with the ride height. Super Stock springs really have the rear up. I did install the adjustable front spring hangers so that will bring it down 1 1/2 inches.

Taylor. Small block takes a couple sets and big block takes 3 sets. If you want everything to look like a wiring schematic when your done.

Thanks for the compliment on the paint.

Wheels are always subjective. I will say in person they look pretty good to me. Nothing fancy. Just a raw muscle look.  The Mad Max Interceptor comes to my mind looking at the car. 

Wait till CP see's those tires.  :pokeeye:

As long as they don't shred & take out a 1/4 or fender , don't care about the tires but I would hate to the paint & body damaged
