Got started on installing the brakes

We had one of those days today, a couple steps forward and one back. We kept looking at where we had installed the MSD Ignition box and came to the decision that it was going to be visible under the dash when the body is installed so we took it off. We are now looking for a new home for it. I like it back in the trunk where I can get at it easy but that makes it harder for Steve in the wiring department because the wiring harness isn't long enough to reach back there and he would have to add extension to each wire and there are quite a few wires. We'll just have to see what will work best.

On the going forward front we started installing the Wilwood brakes today, the ones I've waited so long to receive, and we got the front brakes installed. It was a long wait to get them but they are so much better than the standard ones. They are black but the brake pads will wear off  the black under them and it will the be silver looking. The black makes it so the other areas will not rust, which you see a lot on cars and it looks pretty crappy. Will try and get the back installed yet this week and the brakes bled.

The red box is the MSD unit we removed.


                           This is the Wilwood brake disc I had been waiting for.
                            Slotted and drilled.


                      Here the red thing is the brake caliper where the brake
                       pads are installed in.

                        Inside look at the caliper with brake line hooked up.

                                  Finished on the front, I like the look !!
