Re: Project Blue Goose
Very cool project. Love all the mods you've made to the chassis. Looks like some nice brake too. Subscribed.

Re: Project Blue Goose
Thanks guys. The brakes are Black Wilwood D52's with CPP zinc coated rotors. The rotors casting is really rough where they are not machined, not sure if I would recommend them.

Thanks Josh, Yeah the little ones are taking up most of my time. I also have house projects that take priority over "truck time" so it will continue to be a slow build

Join the club! That's ok though, no matter how much these trucks mean to us, family comes first.
