x2!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

x3....awesome!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

I like that brake set up.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Thanx....very simple setup for corvette stuff...Kore 3 makes it easy....cheap? no ......but when U don't have to "cobb up" pieces to make it work....priceless!....I still look for bargains and do alot of fab myself but when it comes to stopping.....won't chance it.....Wasn't going to use parking brake feature but had second thoughts.....Tobin made these to use lokar universal cables or U can adapt factory fit cables....shoes are inside rotor hat...They are actually a GM piece...Most everything else machined by Kore 3.......more this week.....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Now I want some.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Money shot!! Way too much money and wife probably wants to shoot me!!!....lol.....Don't pay attention to panhard...bent it for clearance but was too much.....Another call to Nate!!......Waiting on spacers and bolts to install front calipers.......jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Thanx......I'll be honest I'm tired of looking at bare metal and some epoxy on frame but that's part of mockup.....it's coming...right after honey do's...lol....jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

you narrowed 4" overall or 4" each side for what width and backspace are you running on your wheels. also did you find out if they make a modified panhard for that gurdle? Ill need the same

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

4" total---59" face to face....20 by 12's .....think 5" b.s. ...will check...going to use stock panhard....only barely touches with truck completely aired up....after discussing with Nate...think I will stay with stock....any bend in bar reduces stress load for bar in handling situations.......jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
