Completed assembling & installing calipers. Nice touch was the inclusion of braded SS brake lines in the kit. On the fence about installing drilled & slotted disks. Test fitted splash shieldwhich will get painted black then un der coated.

Test fit of 245X45X17 tire & wheel clearances with suspension members.

Be a slow process for awhile, garage is pretty cold. Overall its about 250 man hours to build it & don't expect to have a drivable unpainted car till into the summer. As the weather gets warmer will spend more time on it.

No problem. Its always good to see what others are doing & have done. We have a lose group of about 30 guys in the Raleigh Area that meet the 3rd Sat of every month at a local Hardies, big parking lot.

There is also a very good info exchange at http://www.ffcars.com/forums/ which is a great place to lurk for anyone considering buying one of these kits. Its a pretty good sized investment & should be realistically scoped out before getting into it.

In my personal opinion anyone who can follow directions, book is 481 pages, should be able to successfully build one of these things.
