Yep, the car originally came with the orange & black interior... it's all new now of course, but not a deviation from the fender tag there.

The disk brake set up is a kit I got from http://www.USCarTool.com. Fronts only... I believe it's based on the later model F-body stuff and requires you change out the spindles and the master, but mine has the optional drilled and slotted rotors. They have both power and manual versions. Email John at john@uscartool.com for information and be sure to tell him I sent ya!

The wheels are a nice story... my wife and I were at Carlisle two years ago while the car was still in pieces at home. Friday we were walking around the show and she was asking what kind of wheels I like on old Mopes. I showed her and told her I'd love some 17 x 7" and 17 x 8" Torque Thrusts if I had the $$$. Saturday while I'm working my booth she tells me she's gonna go walking around cuz she's tired of sitting. She comes back wheeling a wagon loaded with these wheels. Then she tells me that the wheels come with one condition. I'm thinking, "crap she's gonna want jewelry." She says, "the condition is, the car has to be at this show next year." :D You better believe I busted my butt and got the car done in time for Carlisle the following year, with those wheels!

Yep, I'm gonna keep her. And before you ask, yes she has sisters but they aren't a thing like her!

Yeah, it's the best price I found... for a little extra they'll even send the calipers out and have them powder coated in the color of your choice. As you can see I had them do mine in orange. :D

Oh, and FWIW, the Cuda in the photo of Bobbie is a HemiCuda clone that US Car Tool built for NASCAR racer Mike Bliss... really sweet ride.
