    Hey you should start restoring original cars they would deserve it! :thumbsup:
    Keep posting! :guitar:

    Bye Jerry

    Bye the way will your car get brake cooling in the front?
    Then i´d have a question:
    How thick is the alloy plate with the duct that is screwed behind the
    caliper bracket? Mine was 2mm hope that is still ok. And the rest of the question you find here. :thumbup:

    REALLY nice work Brian!
    Who did you get the brake duct kit from? It looks high quality, unlike many I see in catalogs.

    Thanks! We made these up ourselves. The hoses are extremely thick so I know they are much better than what you will get from a catalog order.

    Since your doing a recreation you might consider painting the body semi-gloss black under where the scoops will mount like the original cars. ;)

    Just trying to help

    Absolutely beautiful work Brian! I love it! :thumbsup:
    Can you tell me what size holes you drilled for the side scoops and mounting rivets?

    Thanks,
    Gary

    Thanks for the compliments!:cigar:

    Thanks Brian!
    Could you tell me what size the side scoop hole is as well? And did you use a standard hole saw? I was thinking 2.75 or 3" but not sure.

    Also, Do you have any close-up pics of your quarter window cut-out area before installation? Yours look much cleaner than all that I have seen.:thumbsup: I need to do these and want to do a nice job. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks again, Gary

    We got the emergency brakes all hooked up. I dont have a picture of that yet..........I'll post pics of the undercarriage when it's at the muffler shop. I also got the G.T. 350 badge mounted on the rear.
