    The el cheapo autozone front brake pads were so loose in the caliper they raddled... I found a set of pads at O'rilleys made by wagner that came with shims... The brakes are quiet now and even stop better.... Best $30 dollars I spent so far...lol...

    The rear end housing is painted and ready to go back in the car. Also got my (Grant 3002/SFI rated) quick release and steering wheel (Grant 673)..........now just waiting for the adapter to fit the wheel to the quick release. Should make getting in and out of the cage much easier.............................I hope.
