I've only had manual brakes on smaller more modern cars so I can't say whether or not I like them on an old Charger.

Is that any different than a vacuum booster failure is what I'm asking? I can stop mine without vacuum but it isn't pretty!

This is what I typically hear.

I hadn't really heard of any complaints regarding Hydroboost until now, I'll definitely take this into consideration. I vacuum canister is starting to sound a lot more appealing lol.

So it's not like losing vacuum to a booster where you can still bring it to a stop or are you saying losing both at the same time was the real problem? Hadn't thought about that but yes, losing power brakes and still being able to steer makes it less scary.

I'm in the middle of doing some much needed upgrades to the Charger focusing mostly on handling, one issue is the brakes. My motor produces 15 pounds of vacuum which is enough for my vacuum booster 99% of the time but in certain deceleration situations I have zero boost which will pucker your...

Figured I'd share a few pictures. Doug's headers are pretty much identical to Hooker Super Comps for ground clearance, the collectors being significantly shorter however might be a huge benefit? The Hookers fit great but had some really annoying bends that trapped bolts, made certain plugs hard...

Yes sir, I'm hoping the non Mopar enthusiasts won't notice anything different but the Mopar guys definitely will.

I'm running behind on updates. The metalwork on the rear bumper is done other than some massaging and the car has been stripped down to a shell and mounted on the rotteseri. Unfortunately the next order of business is getting the ceiling insulated in the resto Bay and getting this car moved...

No, he's a good kid for sure.

Very productive weekend, the Satty is stripped and I've got an absolute mess to clean up! Test fitted the brakes, finished welding and grinding the bumper, pulled the drive train, suspension and just about everything else. The daughter boyfriend stepped in to help this time, he owns a 1973...

Not everyone has a custom header shop nearby to have the headers fitted too, I don't. I'd be really surprised if they could build a set that cheap for a B Body, takes a lot more work to fit them in a B Body than a Jeep. Jeep looks very cool, nice.

I love this!!! Wow, never would have dreamed I'd come back to find a Richard Cranium build in the resto mod section!! Looks fantastic, great build!

Love it!

No but that project is done thank goodness!
