I noticed I have a SUMMIT brake regulator in my brake line on the roadster, I can regulate my braking power to the rear wheels, also I can shut off the rear wheels completely from the braking system. Boy I bet I could do a good burnout with turning off the rear brakes and just using front brakes

I started to take my roadster apart, last week, but it was so nice last Saturday I put it back together for a quick ride.
But now my Headers and exhaust system are removed getting powder coated, also dropping the oil pan and replacing it with a you guessed it a chrome one, also removing the radius arms and intake to get chromed or powder coated. Also installing a chrome tranny dust cover, and what ever else I can get chrome.

Chrome oil pan? Why don't you just leave the bolts loose...........it will accomplish the same thing. Sorry, I've had bad experience with chrome oil pans. Ultra thin metal, rots out, can't hold a seal to save your life...............
If anythiing, an aluminum pan................much better.

Always had troubles with gaskets squeezing out. One thing we used to do was grind the finish off the sealing surface, and glue on cork gaskets. Most of the chrome stuff was cheaply done.
