    So I am on the hunt for some 03+ rear calipers/brackets. The virus has prevented me from getting out at to the yard in B’ham. When I went to the yard in Montgomery, every 03+ car was missing the rear axle. The trip wasn’t a bust though, I scored a set of upper front control arms from a ‘92! Plus the BOSS Brent (visionmercury) sent me a set of spindles. That’s why you’re the BOSS, thanks brother!

    I am really looking forward to getting this rear rebuilt, the brakes on, and installed!

      Also, here’s a shot as to how she currently sits. Still a blast to drive! The 235/50R18 fills up the wheelwell nicely!!

            I got a bunch of parts sitting around for this. Expect some things to happen in 2021. Namely, axle and suspension.

            In order to get absolutely insane with power levels, you had better make sure the car itself is ready first! Otherwise, have just been driving it on occasion. I did change out the break-in fluid from the TKO with some Pennzoil Synchromesh fluid and check the driveline angles.

              Nice! What kind of suspension parts are you putting into it? Any details on the 460 build? I assume you’re looking for 500+Hp?
