Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Little of today's work....got rear brakes and panhard rod installed ....rearend squared to frame and front to back (wheelbase check)..should roll down road straight!....need longer bolts for front calipers to be mounted permanently but left drivers on for pic....

Would like to take moment to thank Tobin Knighton at Kore 3 for answering my emails on Sunday of all days!!...Class act and if any of u are wanting to run big brakes and other components I can't tell you how good these guys are...He got me straight on my bearing retainers today after over 2 years having past since purchase!!.......more this week.....jim

Looking good.

Have you figured out a way to jack it up if there was a flat tire or bag failure?

Thanks

My mistake, I thought it was a 55 post. It's an awesome car.
I'm with you on the red paint.
Nice work on the golf cart too!
