87 Monte SS build

Got some free time today, and modified the spindles to use the wilwood brakes. Just need to drill and tap the holes for the caliper bracket.

Don’t forget to safety wire all your bolts too. It’s cheap insurance.
 
Torqued the spindle to the ball joints, and mocked up the Wilwood brakes

On another note, if you're installing the UMI performance upper control arms with the tall ball joints, it's perfectly fine if you see the upper ball joint shaft exposed. I had to go through the instructions a few times 😆

So I ended disassembling the Wilwood brakes today, since they were given to me assembled. I just wanted to make sure everything was torqued and that the bolts had loctite. Well glad I did! The person that assembled these did not add loctite to the bolts, plus the grease seal on the back was put on backwards SMH!! I regreased, loctited and torqued everything and now I can have that piece of mind that it was done correctly. Also threw on the 17" replica. Man I can't wait to drive this baby.
