I just hope he hasn't floated away with the heavy rains they got out there a while back.

Zane M · 01-03-2011, 01:34 PM

I just read through all ninety pages of this thread.

Menace, you are doing an amazing job on this project. And for what it is worth, I have ADD and something REALLY has to catch my attention to spend the time it took for me to follow the progress in one sitting.

thanks for the kind words. i was no wear near my guess when i built it. i was thinking low 15s. your guess was right on ! 13s low 14s. thanks bud for the inspiration! and get your as$ back to work

54Caddy · 01-04-2011, 10:31 PM

dennis i hit u up about your rear brake lines with the kit what did you do. Did you weld the tabs onto the rear end or how is it set up with the wilwoods and the blackbird rear disc brake kit

54Caddy · 01-12-2011, 01:06 AM

anything on brake hoses to rear calipers??

menace121978 · 01-12-2011, 07:11 AM

i dont understand what you need to know man... i used the stock brake line that goes on the rear end and the rubber line that came in the kit. i think the rear hose is off of a 76 caddy but you should check in captfabs forsale thread on the d52 brackets. i remember he says what rubber brake lines work in that thread.

Computers are Blasphemy along with the devil!

Jonboy · 01-12-2011, 10:37 AM

Brandon, look for rear brake hoses for a '78 Cadillac Fleetwood. Those will work.

*198ChevyGuy* · 01-12-2011, 11:53 AM

still sexy

If i could i`ll say this, use 94-6 SS impala braided stainless steel brake lines , they are a direct fit.I got mine off of ebay and also heard the rubber ones could collapse.Like i said "heard" since my setup is all stainless steel and the front ones were braided from russell perfromance i`ll make it all match up..

thanks

Thats super cool! I guarantee it WILL be in a magazine as a feature one day. And judging by the amazing attention to detail, a cover shot is well deserved!

Congrats man. That's pretty cool. I also agree that this will be a featured truck in many different things, and well deserved at that.

Now I'm with Jon. Let's get it done!
