    Hey folks, Joe here from Katy, TX (Houston Area).
    Hope you don't mind "tribute" vehicles here.....
    Mine is a 67 GT500 replica, hence it's name, "Unreel".
    She's gone thru a complete mechanical restomodification and sports a 427 stroked Windsor and will soon have 4-wheel Cobra brakes all the way around.
    Looking forward to knowing yall.
    Joe​

    Thanks Mike.
    And yes, I will post up some pics.
    I'm using the adapters from MustangSteve.com and the Cobra brakes require the use of 17" wheels.
    That said, I'm still evaluating the options but have a real appreciation for the replicas of the old Halibrands that the original Cobras used:

    I sure don't David, but as it turns out I'm looking for a fence contractor for my house.
    Would you recommend his work?
