please do!
I'll get right on it.
I just placed an order for an LPW Ultra rear cover. They said it'll fit under the track bar.
There is no need for it from a performance perspective, but it'll add a nice finishing touch visually when combined with the stainless brake hard lines. Figured I'd paint or powder it with a tinted clear to give it a cast iron look after a while. I just think the style combined with the color will really add a cool "industrial" aesthetic.
It may be worth coating the brake lines to match, but I have to order and bend the tube first. I don't want to be straightening a coil, as it rarely turns out good unless you have a dedicated straightener, and I'm not buying one just to use it twice. I'll pay a little more for straight tube sections and keep it easy.
I'm excited to get to cleaning that 12 bolt up. This part of a project is a lot of fun. I won't be rebuilding it, but that's just because I don't have the stuff to do it conveniently. It'll probably be fine, and if there's an issue, I'll handle it at that time. So, it's just cleaning and cosmetically restoring; plus rebuilding the brakes, obviously.
Picked up some chrome center caps with the Cragar logo on them in dark blue or black. I don't really care which it is. I'm just used to seeing a logo on a center cap at this point, and I didn't want plain chrome. I will put up some before and after pictures for fun.
It won't be perfect, as I'm not completely stripping the thing, but it'll be nice. If I were to strip it, I'd want to rebuild it, and then I'd want to add a traction aid, and then... Fuck, may as well order a custom 9 inch, at that point. So, let's just hope it doesn't clunk.
Cheers,
