Yep, it's been around for a long time. A quick Google search showed me that hydroboost 4-wheel disc brakes were standard on the 1975 Lincoln Continental. I'll be looking forward to your install pics. Thanks, again.

I think some of you guys are putting me on. I really don't see the hydroboost brakes as all that trick. It's a way to have power assist when under hood space is cramped, or when a cam is used that might not provide enough vacuum for the more traditional power brake setup. In my estimation, it...

I'm sure it wouldn't be needed for most guys, and it might be overkill, but it seems like it would be a good measure toward the protection of the system's longevity. A lot of left/right action (autocross or road course, for instance) could get that fluid really boiling. Running that hot fluid...

Thought I'd add a visual aid that I found on another forum. I'm thinking that a power steering fluid cooler might be a good addition to the circuit, perhaps between the steering rack/box and the "tee fitting."

This is the reason I'm interested in the hydroboost option. Also, there's the appeal of a high performance brake system comprised of late model OEM components.

Don, I can do that. This is a P30S with attached Surefire X300 (forgive the not-so-great pic), but I can do a TLR-2 as well.

Hey, that actually looks like it should make for a pretty simple transplant. How did you arrive at the choice of a 2006 unit, specifically, versus something else?

Thanks! Kydex is wonderful stuff, Jim, and making it form to the gun is the easy part. The real trick is designing and making a holster with both a smooth draw, and firm retention (two qualities that are somewhat opposite), that will conceal a full size pistol, and ride comfortably enough for...

I make custom concealment holsters, from Kydex.

Will be interesting to see what modifications, if any, you have to do, to get your stock brake pedal to function the '06 hydroboost properly.

Of course, I read you on that. What I meant to ask was, in case you're using late model Cobra brakes, for instance, are you also planning to transplant a parking brake handle (instead of using a pedal for actuating the parking brake). I understand now that your incremental approach will not...

Awesome. What calipers, rotors, etc, are you using? How do you plan to actuate your parking brake?

Has anyone here used a "Hydroboost" power disc brake system on their '71-'73 Mustang? If so, care to describe what components were used? Got pics?

The most valuable are likely already listed above, but I side with those who opined that "desirable" is in the eye of the beholder. I like both the fastback and the coupe body styles (oh, and the convertible as well), and would be overjoyed to come into possession of any of them, especially a...

I hate that kind of crap.

That's my favorite of the renderings you've shown. Would be a solid choice.

I like the use of the red pin stripe, but the offset stripe, IMO, has a European look that I find out of place on a Mustang.

The 351 Cleveland is one of the reasons that I (traditionally a big Camaro nut) have become interested in returning to the muscle car sickness, via a 1971-1973 Mustang. I think of the Cleveland as a rampant beast, and, though I know it came before, and was available in other vehicles, I think...

Clear is clearly to be preferred.

I hate to say it, because your Mustang Coupe is one of my favorite cars to look at on this forum (I love the Coupe's "tunnel light" window), but I don't care for the little spoiler. I think it's actually too small, aesthetically. From 10yds away, it's going to look like you put some weather...
