1930 Ford Highboy Coupe

There’s always lots of detail work with any build and this ’30 Ford highboy coupe is no exception. Look closely and you will find Craftworks Fabrication handmade steel motor mounts. The license plate and valve covers were painted by Jeremy Seanor of Luckystrike Designs. He also painted all the accompanying engine and tranny parts. The powdercoat was handled by Pittsburgh Powder Coat while the chrome plating was conducted by Jon Wright’s Custom Chrome Plating.

The chassis is comprised of a Roadster Shop custom frame that was stepped, stretched, and features contoured ’32 Ford-style framerails. It was also then boxed, capped, and has hole punch flared front framehorns. From here the frame is outfitted with a Super Bell 4-inch drop, drilled and plated I-beam axle, low-profile monoleaf spring with Ridetech tubular shocks paired to custom-made drilled billet radius rods from Johnson’s Hot Rod Shop. Steering falls to the Flaming River box and a LimeWorks Hot Rod column topped with a four-spoke Billet Specialties Sprint Car–style leather-wrapped wheel. In back there’s a Currie 9-inch rearend outfitted with 3.70 gears, 31-spline axles, QA1 coilovers, a Pete & Jakes Panhard bar, and a parallel four-link setup. Braking is a combination of disc/drum front to rear. The forward braking dark gray–painted Wilwood Dynalite calipers are neatly hidden behind the Pete & Jakes finned backing plates. While in back the 9-inch is outfitted with 11-inch brakes, this time hidden beneath the SO-CAL Speed Shop finned drums all the while the chassis rides on a full set of 16-inch Dayton wire wheels wrapped with Coker/Excelsior rubber measuring 5.50R16 in front and 7.00R18 in the back.

All hot rods have something fun settled between the ’rails and beneath the hood (well if they have a hood). In the case of our ’30 Ford highboy coupe it sure appears to be a vintage Ford Y-block but after more than a cursory look we begin to see the telltale signs that there’s something more. Indeed, while it may look like a Ford it truly is a 376-inch LSX iron block, with aluminum heads and ARP studs, plus adapter-equipped small-block Ford (Windsor) valve covers all from Don Hardy Race Cars and then assembled by Talik and Marc Mullin. The intake is an Edelbrock LS dual quad with a pair of Thunder AVS EnduraShine carbs dressed in OTB air cleaners. Delivering the gas from the Tanks stainless reservoir is an Earl’s Performance billet fuel pump. More engine accessories include an MSD 6AL box to go along with the MSD billet Ford small-block distributor that functions through a timing cover adapter from Chevrolet Performance all the while using an MSD coil and Lokar vintage plug wires. Powermaster also supplied the alternator and starter, the battery is an XS Power AGM, and a Wegner Motorsports water pump is used as well as a Wegner front accessory drive unit. This 500-plus hp V-8 utilizes custom headers made at Craftworks Fabrication based on Ultimate Headers LS header flanges. The pseudo-Ford small-block is backed up to a TCI StreetFighter 700-R4 with a 2,800-stall speed converter operated by a Lokar shifter. The trans cooler comes by way of Derale Performance and moves the power through a 3-inch-diameter custom-made driveshaft.

Quality Brake Calipers: Essential Components for Optimal Vehicle Performance

When it comes to vehicle safety and performance, Brake fitting kits play a crucial role that is often overlooked by the average driver. These components are vital for effective braking, ensuring that your vehicle can stop promptly and safely. Understanding the importance of quality brake calipers and the benefits they offer can significantly enhance your driving experience and safety.

What Are Brake Calipers?

Brake calipers are a part of the disc brake system found in most modern vehicles. They house the brake pads and pistons, which together create the friction needed to slow down or stop the vehicle. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid from the master cylinder is sent to the calipers, pushing the pistons against the brake pads. This action clamps the pads onto the brake disc (rotor), generating the necessary friction to decelerate the vehicle.

Importance of Quality Brake Calipers

Safety and Reliability: Quality brake calipers are essential for reliable braking performance. Inferior calipers may not apply even pressure to the brake pads, leading to uneven wear and compromised braking efficiency. High-quality calipers ensure that your vehicle stops as intended, reducing the risk of accidents.

Durability and Longevity: Investing in quality brake calipers means choosing components made from durable materials like high-grade steel or aluminum alloys. These materials resist corrosion and wear better than cheaper alternatives, ensuring that the calipers last longer and perform consistently over time.

Heat Dissipation: Braking generates a significant amount of heat, which needs to be effectively managed to prevent brake fade and maintain performance. Quality calipers are designed with superior heat dissipation properties, often featuring vented or slotted designs that enhance airflow and cooling.

Precision and Performance: Precision engineering is a hallmark of quality brake calipers. They are designed to provide consistent pressure across the brake pads, leading to smoother and more predictable braking. This precision is particularly important in high-performance and racing applications where braking performance is critical.

Maintenance and Ease of Installation: Quality calipers often come with features that make maintenance easier, such as dust boots to protect pistons and guide pins from debris. They are also typically easier to install, often designed to fit seamlessly with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) specifications.

Choosing the Right Brake Calipers

When selecting brake calipers, consider factors such as your driving habits, vehicle type, and the conditions you typically drive in. For everyday driving, high-quality OEM replacements are usually sufficient. However, for high-performance or heavy-duty applications, you might want to consider aftermarket options that offer enhanced features like multi-piston designs or lightweight materials.

Popular Brands

Some reputable brands known for producing quality brake calipers include Brembo, Akebono, Bosch, and Wilwood. These manufacturers have a long history of engineering excellence and are trusted by both car manufacturers and enthusiasts alike.

Conclusion

Quality brake calipers are an essential investment for any vehicle owner. They enhance safety, reliability, and performance while also providing better durability and ease of maintenance. By choosing high-quality calipers, you ensure that your vehicle's braking system operates at its best, giving you peace of mind and a superior driving experience. Whether you're upgrading your car's braking system or replacing worn-out parts, prioritizing quality can make a significant difference in your vehicle's overall performance and safety.

Superformance MKIII 427ci 5-Speed $91,000

This Superformance MKIII was ordered new by the seller from Hillbank Motor Corporation of Irvine, California in 2006. Finished in black over black leather, the car is powered by a 427ci side-oiler V8 paired with a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Voss Performance of Fullerton, California installed the powertrain as well as heavy-duty sway bars, and other equipment includes 15″ Halibrand-style wheels, Wilwood disc brakes, ceramic-coated side pipes, dual roll hoops, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. The seller has added approximately 4,500 miles to the car, which has been issued SB100 smog exemption in California. This Shelby Cobra replica is now offered with a soft top, a tonneau cover, a car cover, a hammer, a fire extinguisher, a build sheet, service records, and a clean California title that describes the car as a specially constructed vehicle with no model year.

The car was custom-ordered in black and finished in PPG materials using a two-stage process. Features include dual chrome-finished roll hoops, ceramic-coated side pipes, and a locking hood, trunk, and gas cap. The seller notes stone chips on the lower area of the nose, and the paintwork and exterior trim are shown up close in the photo gallery below.

Polished aluminum 15″ Halibrand-style wheels are mounted with three-ear knockoffs that have been safety wired. They are shod in 255/60 front and 295/50 rear BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, and each corner is equipped with Wilwood disc brakes. The car also features a coilover suspension, and Voss Performance installed larger heavy-duty sway bars front and rear.

The interior features bucket seats with black leather upholstery and upper harnesses that were added to integrate with the latch-locking lap belts. The glovebox is lockable, and the battery as well as an electrical disconnect switch are located in the trunk.

A wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation that includes a reverse-sweep 180-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, auxiliary gauges, and a Lucas ammeter.

The 427ci side-oiler V8 was initially built by JMS Racing Engines of Monrovia, California and installed by Voss Performance. In 2008 the engine was rebuilt, serviced and tuned by RC Performance of Huntington Beach, California, at which time dynamometer results indicated that the engine produced a peak output of 465 horsepower and 493 lb-ft of torque at the crankshaft. Features include a forged crank, Ross pistons, cast-iron cylinder heads with Shelby American roller rocker arms, an Isky Racing Cams camshaft, a mechanical MSD distributor, a Canton Racing Products oil pan, ceramic-coated headers, and dual-quad Edelbrock 600-cfm carburetors mounted to a Ford Racing mid-rise intake manifold. The seller notes that the oil was changed in preparation for the sale and that the solid-lifter valves should be adjusted in approximately 800 miles.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO-600 five-speed manual transmission. The rear differential features a 3.73:1 final-drive ratio, and additional photos of the underside are presented in the gallery.

My Ultimate Plan | Airkewld | 1957 Beetle on a 1971 Chassis | Patrick

Client's Vision - 57 Beetle on a 71 IRS PAN What kind of wheels do you want to run?:15” Suspension Choice:Static - Set it and forget it Stopping Power: Disc Brakes - Self Adjusting Driving Style:Performance - More controlled, better handling, let's burn some rubber Ideal Engine: Performance - More Power, more torque, I want to have the ability to get out of my own way. Stance: classic rake lower in the front, almost stock height in rear, wide tires front and back on titanio Venus wheels, discs on all 4 corners, daily driver mostly, ideal engine is fuel injection, 1776-2017cc, freeway flyer transmission

Wheel Link - https://vwispwest.com/titanio-venus-15-x-5-5-wheel-r1128/

PRO's Plan for Patrick - If you go with he 15x5.5 wheel options they will come with a +15 or 3.84" backspacing up front, you would need a 5" Ultimate or PRObuilt Beam with shock towers for a performance build or a 6" shockless for a cruiser build. 165-60-15 tires up front. This is due to the Chassis swap you have and that makes the suspension platform 2" wider than your original 57 was. I think you would need to go with the same wheels in the rear but with an obviously taller wider tire. 205-65-15 tires in the rear.

As it would ship to the client for FREE in the lower 48 states, it would come with the following:

Stage 1 PRObuilt Beam complete assembled with sport shocks, drop spindles that is narrowed to spec to fit the wheels and the stance the client is looking for and GEN 2 BAD Series Brakes are installed in a Wide 5x205mm bolt pattern and outfitted with 4 piston grey Wilwood calipers. This will give him the stopping power he wants, the stance he is after and ability to give him the best user experience possible. In the rear, we went with an eBrake style NON Wilwood caliper and the Wide 5 GEN 2 IRS BAD Series Brakes couple with adjusting the torsion's to fine tune his ride height and installing a set of rear shocks and Stainless Steel hardware.

$6500 Delivered to an R&L Terminal closest to our client. All forms of payment are available and it can even be financed during checkout.
