[AMC-List] 62 classic project

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

i been out of the loop latly. been reading the list,
but havent taken time to post lately. workin alot.
monday, i got the driver floor pannel cut out of the
car. tuesday i got a new pannel formed and welded in.
i got a master cylinder/power booster from a jeep
wrangler. i got 2000 mustang gt pbr duel piston
callipers and rotors to match. i spent about 4 hours
earlier today building brackets to fit the calipers on
the spindles. the brakelines for the calipers
suprisingly bolted right on to the factory brake
lines. weather today has hampered putting the calipers
and rotors on. rain/snow mix. cold and nasty. i got my
hubs pressed out of the drums. had to do some grinding
down on the outter diamiter of the hubs to fit them
inside the mustang rotors. took about 3/8 of an inch
all the way around. lot of time on the grinder... got
them fit, then it was time to fabricate brackets to
bolt from the spindles to the caliper mounts. i picked
up the calipers and rotors for i think around $100.
someones stock stuff from when they upgraded. i went
down to the local steel supply shop and got some 6"x6"
3/8 thick plates to cut down to make the brackets to
mount from spindle to calliper mount. if anyone is
interested in seeing pictures to do their own, let me
know. when the weather stops for a little bit finish
redrilling holes for the vacume booster to mount to
the firewall, and get the spindles and all put
together on the wheel area.
