Those rears factory calipers or something you picked up...Very nice indeed...

Chris the both rear and front brake calipers and rotors are stang parts.
I am tring to get away from mn12 bird parts,But stay with Ford parts .
There are to many bird parts being discontinued so I am updating with
stang parts.Mustang parts will be around for years to come.And as
I swap the part to stang,I am doing my best to make the bird easier
to work on,and making it lighter as I go.And hope that I can rebuild
parts 20 years from now.I don't ever plan to sell this car.I am upgrading
for myself not for an antique SC Thunderbird.
The next time I work on the brake system.I am going to replace the mastercylinder with a simpler Ford mastercylinder.I thinking about
maching a aluminum billet mastercylinder then I can buy a stang
mastercylinder rebuild kit to fit today and down the road.
I like to have a nice clean car,And build it so its easier to keep clean & work on.This is why I sand down most of my parts then clear coat.easier to wash.
I just don't need all the bells and whisles that are on the SC Bird.So when
I have to fix or replace parts.They will be simpler & avalible down the road.
I am more of a retro-rod type person instead of a antique bird guy.I
want to use what I have not just save it and look at it.So I am going
with all the Cobra parts that I can.They will be around 50 years from now.
I am sure the SC V-6 will be thrown away.And swap a stang motor in the car.
The reason for this is,I am not able to get a tune for the supercoupe motor.
A motor that can not be tuned is worthless.I would like to swap in a 03-04
Cobra motor.But a wrech Cobra is hard to find.And the Cobra crate motor
is over priced.So I am looking at buying a 5.4 motor from Sean Hyland.
I will go with a A/R blower most likely.And it will not have a junk auto trans
behind it.If I could do my dream swap motor.It would be a blown
V-10 mod motor.Or a Jon Kassas 815cid detuned blown boss hemi Ford motor.
Thanks Randy
