Thread: I couldn't build it for $3 K either!

Tweet

Thanks for the update, Mike. We all have to work out some bugs on new builds. Like you, I have had mixed results with adjustable proportioning valves. The nice thing about the dual master cylinders with balance bar is it is infinitely adjustable. I've had that arrangement in a couple of stock cars over the years and adjustments are absolutely positive; no guesswork about whether it will work.

I had forgotten about this thread; I couldn't do mine for 3K either. Actually, my target was $4500, but it came in at $5200 and change. I have a standing offer of "double my build cost" from an old friend, but I'm having too much fun with it to sell it now. Anyway, I believe it's worth more than that...

Jim, I wish $5200 was all I had in mine! I've had it for sale, but no luck so far.

Yours is worth waaayyy more than your friend's offer. It's a very cool car.

BTW - I liked the balance bar setup so well, I'll consider it for all my hotrod builds from now on. It just works too good.
