Really happy with how it is coming along

 

[Mike Shull]

So with the Front Range Big Brake kit you flip the Knuckles You will see

 

[Firemedic831]

I had those powder coated about a year ago and they did not turn out like i wanted . They do look cool when the sun hits them But not what i want so I will prob cut and grind the brake mount ears off and then Cerakote the Knuckle

So cool. Any idea who made it or where to get another one? I'm over here really patiently waiting for a full side shot of your 40 sitting outside. I am so envious of this build, so close to where I want my '77 to end up. Thanks for sharing your build with us!

I am not sure I just got it at the Toyota dealer i will see if there is a part number . and SOON very soon. i am tempted to back it out just because. but i need to get the brakes on it

 

[Firemedic831]

Now to figure out how to make them
Work

 

[Firemedic831]

Got done 2 hours early today and have been on a mission . Pick up
Brake parts from Toyota . Check
Check real fast to make sure they will work. Check
Make appointment for Exhaust Check
Drop off driveline to get rebuilt and lengthened. Check.
Now to figure out how to plumb the brakes. One way or another it’s driving on a trailer the 20th for exhaust. . Oh boy

 

[Mike Shull]

If you can’t back it out of the garage, at least take a full side picture for us while it is in the garage

 

[Firemedic831]

Best I can do right now

 

[Mike Shull]

Hey, that is perfect! I’ve been staring at a frame for so long that I have forgotten about what it is supposed to look like.

 

[Firemedic831]

I will be happy when it’s 1 ish colors. I get depressed looking at it like this. But I need to finish Building before I can make it look good. Every day I chip away
