Nice job Chris. I haven't logged in for a long while but wanted to see how your build was coming. After a year I finally uncovered mine and got it back into the garage. Gotta figure out where I left off with rewiring the car for the 2nd time.

Happy I came to visit and see some more progress. Simply inspirational.

Thank you all. Before I pull out all the new stainless line going to the rear, does anyone know a supplier for 1/2-20 for 1/4" inverted flare line coupler? I've searched high and low and from what I see they only offer for 5/16" line with that thread size. I purchased the MasterCool...

Good afternoon, First off, I don't know the laws of hydraulics hence the reason for this post. The wilwood brake Proportioning valve has 3 ports for 3/16 line. 2x for the front calipers and 1x for the rear calipers. The Vette uses 2x 3/16 line for the front calipers and 1x 1/4 for the...

Thank you sir. You just saved me a lot of headaches!

Bringing this very informative thread back to the top. Firstly, thank you for posting this information. I had a question regarding the C5 being used with manual brakes on the C3. From what I could find, both masters have a 1" bore. This would lead me to believe I would have no issues using...

Very interested in seeing what you do. I was thinking of installing some type of fire suppression as well. I'm in the fire pump business but I don't think I'll be able to utilize any of my knowledge with an on board wet system.

Think I'm gonna have to give SPC a call. Wondering if I should use the longer ball joints. Not sure what the advantage is but at full droop the ball joint cup looks a little stressed, not that it will see full droop often.

I'm not as technical as a lot of you here, but I do like trying to solve problems. For your actuator limiting, if you can't move the limit switches, could you put the base of the actuator on a floating bracket with a spring. Have 2 pieces of metal, 1 rigid mounted and 1 floating held in place...

Just want to say, this is one of my favorite builds. You have provided a lot of informative information. Thanks for taking the time to post your updates.

Thanks very much. You didn't have to do all that. I was just hoping to order some straps before the arms come. Think they'll be here this weekend so I'll pull it all apart and make something work. I like the cable idea as I have that stuff at work. Maybe a free solution.

Ive read your post numerous times over the week. Thank you for the info. How long of a limit strap did you need to use?

Looking to buy a set of SPC upper control arms to make it a little easier for me to do the alignment myself. I plan on trying autocross but will also be street driven (local cars and coffee meets). My question is, should I go with the Race version (delrin bushings) thats like $40 cheaper, or...

Exactly. USA made and cheap. I would spent more time gathering materials and probably a day or 2 building plus probably spending 3/4 the cost buying the materials. Did you go with Swag?

Thanks for clarifying. I decided to go with AMG fuses rated for 60 amps for the time being. Believe my alt puts out 60amps but don't have an amp probe yet to verify. I noticed with the universal "hot rod" style harness I have 10 awg coming from the alt and going into the fuse box then another...

Perfect for that. I've been using cut off wheels, jig saw, sawzall, and hacksaw for a long time. I'm working out of a storage unit so I had to pass up on many good used deals for a proper bandsaw. My buddy had one of these saws so I started researching, that's where I found swag. USA made and...

Can i add a question to this.... since its relevant. Where should the fusible links be installed. I have wire going from the alternator to the fuse block in the car. From the fuse block a wire going to the starter solenoid. From starter solenoid to the battery. Im assuming i should have one...

I was going to build one, then I found SWAG off road that made one very reasonably priced. I bought it because I needed to use the saw with a table much sooner then opening up a new project and making one to my liking.
