A&C questions

I spoke to pete again today and now I'm leaning more towards fast times
His starter kit comes to the same money with his upgraded suspension but do you know anyone with his cars. Ive done a search on this site and nothing comes up except for this forum and maybe some similar ones.
Basiacally the only thing I'm thinking about is that they'll be around till I finish my car and long after that.
Would there be any difference titling and registering his car over A&C?

The kit manufacturer will not affect how your car will be titled in New York. It still will need an inspection and have the required safety components regardless of who made the kit parts.

In regards to your choice of kit, Once you have the frame and body, which are the two most critical parts that must match, almost everything else can be purchased from another source.

Good luck with your choice, take your time and do your research, ask good questions.

I finally made my decision and put a deposit in to A&C so I can start out with the frame package.
I will probably go with the rolling chassis parts also but reading through the posts, I've read that many members have upgraded brakes or master cylinders...
I would rather spend a little more money in the beginning than having to do it over again so with your experience would it be better to get the 12" wilwoods or stick with the 11" from A&C. I priced out the wilwoods from hotrodusa for about 1600 with the rear parking brake and cable and all the stainless brake lines included as a package. The only thing is that it changes the spacing by adding about 1". Any other suggestions as far as options go?

In terms of brakes I would think that how you will drive your car will determine the set-up. I do not race mine. I have power brakes with 11" rotors up front and drums in the rear. I run errands, go to cruise nights, and occasional day trips.

If you plan on more aggressive driving you may want to go with the wilwoods.

Have fun
