A&C questions

[Roscoe]

I replaced the front GM calipers with Wilwoods but kept the 11" Granada rotors. I also kept the 11" Explorer setup on the rear. Hey? The car only weighs about 2300 lbs.

John:
Curious on why you decided to go the way you went?
Just wondering, if you are getting the rolling chassis and the body, everything else can be gotten from other sources.

Anyway back to your question.
I went with the Granada 11" front disc and Explorer 11" rears from A & C.
I have never tracked my car and I have no intentions to do so.
I started out with power brakes and cable operated clutch.
After 3 years got rid of the cable operated clutch and power brakes and went with a brake pedal set up from Pete and manual brakes.
Best upgrade I ever made. Pete's setup was so easy to put in, it even covered the hole I made in my footbox area.
It was a bit of getting use to manual vs power but it is great now.
Do you really think stainless brake lines are needed? Costly and much harder to do. Mine look like the day I picked up the rolling chassis from Pete.

Anyway, good luck and keep asking questions.

What gel coat color are you going with?
What motor?
What Tranny?

Don't forget, there is not much room in the footbox, if you got real wide feet you may want to think about (sorry for this in advance) Automatic tranny. It get's real tough getting gas, clutch and brake pedals and wide feet in that footbox. Have you sat in anybody's car to check out pedal locations?

Anyway we are here for you! Ask away!

I decided to go with A&C mostly because I felt a little more comfortable with them. I'm sure fast times is a good car but as many searches that I did I could not find any other info on them.
I already started looking at other sources for parts I will need down the line, I've found many of the parts cheaper.
I don't know if the stainless brake lines are needed but if I were to go with the wilwoods they include all the hardware. I've never driven one. I definitely want to go to the show in carlisle 5/16-5/18. Do you guys go to that.
The color I like is blue with white stripes, I don't know the exact code but I really like the blue cobra with the wihite stripes in fasttimesrods.com gallery section at the bottom.
Motor i'm thinking 351w from engine factory with a tko600rr ...any suggestions?
