I made a trip to the boneyard today to get some brake parts, a driveshaft, and other misc stuff. The Explorer front brake rotors slide right over the Plymouth hubs and the bolts line up; just need to build a bracket to hold the caliper. Also got the dash mods finished up and in primer.

Did you know beforehand that the rotors would mount that easily?? That's cool!
The dash came out really nice too. What color will it be?

I saw this brake swap on the P15 D24 site; one of the guys over there came up with it and it's very cool. Cheap, easy, and all boneyard parts except for the caliper mounting bracket which he posted a drawing of so anyone was welcome to use it.

As far as color, my grandson is hooked on the orange idea so I'm painting the dash and firewall orange while it's apart. When I get around to painting the whole car I'll match it.
