Sounds good...instead of a cherry picker, you should build a gantry.

We have an engine hoist if I ever need to lift anything. That does look nice though.

Just ordered a set of Mustang Rear calipers:


They look a lot like the svt rear calipers but they are a little bit bigger.

They should be able to use the standard ebrake cable setup as well.

I will have to have custom hats and brackets made by wilwood

Benefit being I can now use vented rotors instead of solid which should cool a bit better on the track. I will probably have these done in silver to match the brembo fronts.

I believe this is a similar setup to the htp car that was being built:

Nice, be sure to save the designs! I'll be staying with my SVT rears myself.

Contrary to popular belief, sand blasting is not as much fun as it sounds

Anyway all the suspension parts I'm using are now blasted along with the seams and any problem areas on the bottom of the chassis:
