Nice work on the Brakes, Rob..... you should have hid the boat;)


Thanks, I tried to put off getting the boat for another week or two but the person storing it really needed it moved. My boat is the last one in and the first to leave.

Brakes look great Rob. Stopping certainly won't be a problem. :happy: I like those retro-style wheels too. I'm guessing you'll be dealing with the wires showing in the pics soon. Good to see you're still making progress.


Thanks Dean. I don't think braking will be a problem. I have 13" rotors in the front and 12" in the back. I think the tires will be the weak link but thr Nitto 555's are pretty sticky. I hope to start on some of the wiring next month. The backlights are done and most of the underdash is complete.

Nice work!!!!

Any updates????


Not to much lately. The boat came home and I started working on it for about a week. Then my one and only full bathroom BROKE!! The tub cracked. I have about 2-3 weeks into a nearly complete tear out. Installed a Jacuzzi tub (sp) wired it all in and am close to being finished with the tile work. Thanks Rick (BTTB) for all of the help.

Family has a lot more fun with the boat that they do watching me work on my car.
