    turned down the hubs on the lathe yesterday, got longer lugstuds installed. Get the early style lemans calipers they fit right on the brackets, I got the later style from a firebird a had to trim some excess off to clear the kingpin . I'll get some pics up this weekend if
    I can figure out how to. Also the stock wheels won't fit different backspacing hits the caliper.

  4. Hey Scooter...you may want to PM Gambino. He's been busy with the SF show and probably didn't see this, but I know he's always down to help.

    Good luck!
