This is the drive shaft hoop that was
on the last page. It's use is in case of drive shaft failure, it
contains it so it won't drag in the back or front. It's required if one
wants to drag race over a certain mile an hour too. It's a good idea even if
I wasn't going to be racing. You can't be to safe ya know.

Here is where the Turbo 400 trans will
bolt up in those two holes on that plate. This is a close up of what I
was talking about on the other page about the overdrive unit. This plate
is two times as thick as a normal one but then again, it has to hold
more weight.

Right next to the drive shaft hoop is
the 4 link bracket. A 4 link suspension has lots of adjustments so you
can make the car do what you want it to. By putting the bars in
different holes, you can pre-load the chassis to launch straight off the
line when drag racing, or have it sit lower or higher. It depends what
the driver is wanting and in my case, I want to make sure it goes
straight off the line when racing.

Here is where the power booster and
master cylinder are located. This setup makes it a cleaner look in the
engine compartment by putting it here. The only drawback having it under
the body is having to add brake fluid later so I'll be sure it's full
before bolting the body on. I guess you can still get to it from under
the car but it's a lot harder.

Right on the other side of the master
cylinder is the stainless steel brake lines. Now this was the only thing
installed when I received it. Notice the proportional valve and the
brake light switch along with the AN fittings. This was one of the
options I got which is the stainless brake lines instead of just steel
lines with brass fittings. It sure does look nice with the aluminum
hold-downs every foot or so along with the anodized blue fittings.
