Yep, what Cecil said.
Chevrolet adopted the Corvette shoes and backing plate concepts, however my experience with metallic brake shoes is they only really work when heated up like road racing. Racing 1/4 mile at a time gave little time for them to heat up except at the end.
As to the shop, most of the photos you will see are in the dealership service Dept. I have one stall that is used for all the work except body and paint stuff.
If it were not for all those customers cars getting in the way I’d have more room!
As for the entire team that does the work, the team is named Al.
He has built every car I have shown and several pasta cars I have not bothered anyone with. He is very talented and focused. Like all of you we have lots of local friends that do machine work, chrome work, interior trim work, wheels, etc.
Al was with us in Great Bend. I actually asked him to run the white 62 since I had promised my wife I would not race anymore(what a stupid promise LOL). Anyway too many of you guys as witnesses, and how much could I trust all of you!!!!
Anyway, Al does a great job and we all have fun. The guys in the shop all pitch in when we need to move something around etc. We have about 165-170 total employees and they all like to hear what is going to be started up next. The salesmen love to bring customers back and see what is going on. Loads of fun.
I could post some,of the other projects if interested.
