Are those the ATS calipers? They're enormous. What are folks doing about the Cadillac wording, leaving it?

Yes they are, and yes they are huge. The wording is really only in the paint. I’m going to sand it and paint them with some new, larger brembo stickers.

Oh man, big day today. My Ultimate Headers have arrived. They are 1 7/8” primaries and 3” collector. Strong stainless and tig welded. They are beautiful. I can’t wait to get these on the car. And check out the clamps, it’s like a combination ball flange and v band. Super cool. 9E9250B3-6075-4C0B-A2A6-58A93371F407.jpegB997D8D3-630F-47A5-BE2D-9251C2ED3802.jpeg0BD11E7B-D1DD-4792-949A-93B1D238F9F7.jpeg31D86A5F-2008-4FD2-B643-73963118F5BD.jpeg1551B088-9476-4B29-A33A-F315021FB1F7.jpeg

I think this might be the first time I have heard anyone really truly excited about the idea of installing long tubes. But I can't blame you they do look nice.

Honestly, I’ve done 5 different sets of long tubes on this car (this makes #6) and they aren’t that bad. I installed the ones in it now in just a few hours.

I like my garage, and lift too. When you get to be my age, you'll appreciate things more. However, I remember those days too. :eek:
Working in a shop every day, it’s hard to get motivated to work in the dirt at home lol. I recently got a two post lift, but don’t have anywhere to put it, so I gave it to a friend of mine.

Not saying I couldn't get underneath and do it, the worst part would be getting out and up! OMG! I might as well dig a deeper hole and crawl in. :D
