As the others have said....Beautiful workmanship. Do you intend to "wire edge" the cockpit? The side profile is suggesting Bugatti type 35 to me!
Thanks!
Camping at the track?
See ya there
Thanks for the reply. It's -4 here this am. I'm waiting for the shop to warm up. When it gets a bit mor temperate I'll start looking into your...
Thanks for confirming that it should work. F&J in the following post has made a suggestion for something to look at.
I pulled the engine to see wtf. Looks like the clutch fingers should clear the bearing retainer. Now I'm thinking maybe not enough mechanical...
Leaving town for a while. Will get back into this when I return, Thanks for your thoughts

Thanks. A lot of good info in your reply!
One year makes a huge difference in interchangeability
What's the junkyard swap? Updating with factory parts instead of a kit?
Maybe with a Wilwood kit you got lucky. MMP says "you may need different rims to clear the calipers". I'm trying to be proactive.....not like the...
Some kits say the calipers will hit the stock 15" rim. I want to keep the steelies and wheel covers. Bolt circle is 5 x 5-1/2" rims are 6" wide x...
I have seen backing plates opened up like that for racing, but as you say these look to be factory made. I've never seen any like this before.

You are a wealth of information. My son (this is his project) lives in Cornwall VT. With your permission I'll have him get in touch with you. Thanks
