What company did you buy the pre made hard brake lines for? Summit or Baer? Looking to buy a set for my rear Baer 5-lug conversion.
Using an 86 SVO MC btw.
Sick mods!

Its been a bit since the last update. Been fighting some small issues with leaks, and that is a big pet peeve of mine. So much so that I ended up tearing out the transmission, clutch, and driveline to solve a rear main seal leak.
Car is back together and on all 4's. Aluminum flywheel, king cobra clutch, high torque mini starter, aluminum driveshaft, and MGW shifter installed. Still sorting out some stuff with the brakes, but got it out to Sonomoa for the Shelby Mini-Nats. Feels so much better with the MGW.
Car is currently at Griggs Racing to finish the Watts Link, through the floor sub frames, torque arm, and some other items. I will update when she comes back home.

Recently got my Foxbody project back from Griggs Racing. Still a ton to do to this car, but a lot has happened so far. Griggs Watts link, coil overs, and rear GRV shocks are in. Awaiting the new torque arm to tie the rear setup together. The new Baer Brakes stop well, but still need more pressure to get them to feel like a modern pedal. Quite possible a hydro boost swap will be added. I could go on for days, but for now here are some pics snapped with my Nikon D750.
4-lug son!

Trying to finalize the interior on the fox. Recently installed the Florida 5.0 gauge cluster. Fairly easy, but time consuming. Got everything to work but my electronic speedometer. Waiting on a new vehicle speed sensor since it appears to be the problem. My cruise control was not working before the install, and usually that is a tale tale sign. Anyone else have this setup and been through this?
I found heel toe downshifts almost impossible with the stock pedals, so I installed these Steeda ones I had on hand. Hopefully they provide a better feel. An SRP heel guard should prevent me from grenading the floor mats. Along with a custom Signature Wheel coined short throw shifter from MGW. Seats are Corbeau front and rear, which I enjoy the bolstering much more compared to sliding all around in the stock ones.
