Les took one of the uprights, rotors and the JFZ caliper to work and made new brackets to hold the calipers. We are going to rebuild them and replace and reroute the brake lines.
Man Kevin...I need to check in on your posts more frequently.. I got a bit behind.. 
Boy, it's a whole lot easier to work on the front suspension when you can take the fenders off...lol

He's turning this into a "flip top" like the GT40's isn't he? The nose and tail just flip up to gain access to the underpinnings and drive-train?
It is definitely easier to work on!! You can reach everything without having it way up in the air. I took the radiator in today and it was in pretty bad shape. So Les and I ran out to Ron Davis radiators and left the old one with them to make the new one in aluminum. The radiator is a little smaller than stock and does not need the dual fan with shroud. Just a single fan to use while sitting at grid or in the pits.
Now to start taking the rear suspension off

Probably more like a flip off. I have the front and back off now to begin work on the rear end
This just makes so much sense for a serious race car.
Can you give us a shot of what the roll bar in the cabin looks like and how the rear braces bolt up to it through the window?
I suppose it is easier to route the header tubes around the rear braces rather than route them around the header tubes?
Les also started going thru the ZF to get that all ready to go
Ohhh...
