I removed the SSBC power booster and master cylinder and replaced it with this billet master cylinder from Wilwood. The engine didn't generate sufficent vacuum for the booster anyway, this unit looks much better than the stock looking SSBC hardware. I also started my four wheel disc installation, I purchased a front and rear kit from Shuan at StreetorTrack.com. The front kit has 13" rotors and does not change the wheel offset, is was far more affordable than the kits offered by Baer or Wilwood. I am waiting for Flex a Form fiberglass rear springs to arrive, once they arrive I'll start on the rear end. The StreetorTrack rear disc kit has 11.65 diameter rotors, again no change in the wheel offset and more affordable again the the other kits out there.
Here are some photos of the underside of the car when the exhaust system was installed.
I found this air foil on EBay, Undercover Innovations.com makes it. I wanted something to help direct air flow thru the radiator and fill in the open void between the grill and the radiator support panel. I modified the unit, it came with only four mounting holes, it fit but I thought it could be better. I added holes to match those of the rivets that hold the two sides of the grill together and the tabs that are on both ends. I installed nut serts in the grill, this made assembly much easier and I like the way it looks. The holes for the hood pins were another problem, a big hole was left open, didn't look real neat. I purchased some 1/2 shaft collars and painted some 1/2 flat washers black. I glued a gasket material on the bottom of the washer to prevent rattles, slid the shaft collars in place and tightened up the set screw on the collars. I used metal plug to fill the open holes left in the radiator support panel. You can see the underhood trim kit I have also installed, it was polished stainless steel, but I had it powdercoated to better match the rest of my underhood area. The jack sticking into the grill is the connection for my battery maintainer. It keeps the battery fully charged with a trickle and de-sulfate process. I installed a female phone jack socket to the side of the hood latch and grill support. I also will use this jack as a power supply for a digital photo frame that I've loaded with some photos of the car.
