mrbigtanker Posted October 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr I love this for the brake but shit it looks way to big, will try out on Thursday when off. On other news the Pantera is done so my truck she being seeing the finish line soon, or at least the cab getting done which is fine any me. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 I just bought that same brake master for a project I have here. The master is so short, it will work anywhere. The only thing I don't like about Wilwood masters is the screw on lid. Those tiny 3mm drive tapered screws gets stripped so easily. There used to be a company that sold a modified lid with screw on caps for Wilwood masters. I looked for it, but couldn't find it. 2 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted December 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr SO cab outside is now officially done, just going to mold in holes for seat belts on B pillar and remove the brackets on back bulkhead for the Jack bar. Don't need it. Oh and also the Jack brackets on floor and bench seat bracket as well. 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted December 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Final sealer primer is on wet sand and off to paint as well. Doors hood fenders and front cowl are same as well. Tailgate has about 3% more work and its ready as well. Cant wait to see it done. 4 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 So many things to think about before paint. On a project I'm working on now, I even took the step of laying out the wiring harness so I would know where to weld on wire clips and mount the ECM inside the cab. I remember watching American Chopper where they got a bike frame back from the powder coaters and were drilling holes in it to run wires. So lame. 2 Quote Link to comment

Cant wait to post a picture with some color. Edited December 1, 2021 by mrbigtanker 2 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 I figured you had it covered. Your attention to detail is pretty high up there. 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted December 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Yeah I know, know paint yet. But progress. Can you see the subtle change to the upper fire wall.So far Saturday it leaves for paint. His friend has a huge shop that he takes to paint at and then comes back to his shop for cut and buff and finish touches with his clients cars. My truck will be named Subtle with a 9" reared 305 wide tires under the fender well as well. lol. But Subtle, I think people will like the changes but not drifting tooooooo far away from what a 521 should look like.Stay tuned. 3 Quote Link to comment
