    What did the Wilwood setup come with? Was there a new master cylinder and proportioning valve? Are the brakes power or manual?

    I hope you paid with a credit card. You can dispute the charge.

    Did a oil change on my Grabber, bought a Eastwood flaring tool to use when I install my rear disc brake kit. I also Ordered a T5 cross member from 71gold to eliminate a modified mustang cross member that's on the car now. Getting the car in tip top shape for next year's round up.

    I was able to get back in my shop and finish up my EFI installation...:thumbs2:
    all I had to do was hook up the fuel line...that was before my back went south 6-7 weeks ago.
    fired right up, now to test it :drive:...:chirp:
