Re: My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car

The car will require a switch box mounted between the seats for all switches as when belted in I cannot reach the dash. I dug around all over the net at pics of vintage race cars looking for something cool in this regard but came up empty. A box is a box no two ways about it. Do more pondering than working. In the end I cut the bottom out of a 50cal ammo box I had lying around. It has a nice hinge on it and is very sturdy. At one time I thought of plastic but then thought if a short and a fire developed the box would melt The key start is there along with the master elect cut off. The box is big but potentially I'll be putting headlight, wiper and brake fan switches there also.

I also bought my new Superlight rear brake calipers to replace my old mismatched ones before our dollar sinks out of sight Wilwood said my old pads would fit, they wont. But hey isnt it just a great day when you go pick up something as cool as a new set of brake calipers? Gearhead heaven, love it!
