66' R2.8 1BADRESTO

[pjohnson]

Looking very nice and the color is amazingly similar to a buddy's previous build. Maybe it's a preview for you.

I found the color in his build thread, it's Rustoleum Night Tide.

This is my dream rig! Color and all... Do you have a paint mix code?

 

[Borrego]

What axles are you using, or is it a disc brake conversion on the 66 axles?

 

[Sheck44]

Thanks guys ...
Rob, yes I can get you the paint Codes, but to get it exactly you may have to order the paint through these guys and they will have it exactly

Are you still using the same NV450 Tranny? Or did you decide to switch to something else?

 

[Robert shields]

Where did you get the brakes from ?

 

[Sheck44]

Arthur we are still using the NV4500 ...
Rob, bought the bracket kit and the rotors from BTB and sourced the 6 piston caliber fronts direct from wildwood, and the rears are GM

Cheers

It seems from this picture that the back transfer case just barley clears the floor brace, do you plan to do any mods to the tunnel cover?

 

[Sheck44]

No sir ... tranny tunnel clears with some modification to the shifter locations
