Bought some Cobra braided lines yesterday at Summit, and plumbed up the rear today.. also have a functioning e-brake, as you can see I used a large roll-pin as a spacer that goes on the cable.

little by little, piece by piece, lol.

epoxy primer..

painted/cleared with the same red thats on the wheels, will also be the pinstripe on the body, hand painted the COBRA letters with some white I had.

Did my hubcaps too..used a 2 3/4" holesaw on the front caps so my spindles can stick out. Rears are aluminum fronts are plastic. The wheels are different also because I bought them at seperate times, didn't realize there were different styles untill I had these haha.

Yep! The rear brakes are completely done, ebrake works and everything. Working on the front brakes now, the knuckles and hubs are all painted and on the truck for good. Just need to get some braided hoses and brakes pads and I can put the front brakes together for good.

I'm sort of puzzeled, I have a 88 ranger, and I put 95 mustang wheels on it and the caps fit just fine, so why did you have to cut the center out of yours, and no I'm not useing a spacer ?!?
