I've had it with these crappy brakes. Has anyone been able to install the Whitby solution without pulling body off? I will soon be yanking the motor to replace the torque converter and it might make sense to do the brakes at the same time. I do not want this body off the car again. Thanks.

Hey Mike,
Can I talk to you on the phone about this evolution? I'm out in California so can't drop by for a chat. If you pm me with a number I will call you. In also sending my number via pm to you, ok?
Thanks
Tom

Could we get some feedback on the kit, generally installation and function. The info on Whitby's website seems geared to the Roadsters.

I will be happy to post an update once I get started installing the kit. My project is a bit of a ***** due to the fact I have mounted my fuse block to the left of the steering column. Its an automatic trans so I had plenty of space over there that I can reach from outside the car rather than trying to fumble around under the center of the dash to check fuses. like a dummy, I managed to route two of the main wire harnesses in the exact area where the new brake system linkage needs to live so I will need to gently bust loose a million zip ties and disconnect those harnesses to move them out of the way. Then I can get to the pedal box which I need to remove to fit the new pedal assembly. I think I can get to everything without removing the body but I sure wish I had made this decision before I mounted it the last time. Highly recommend doing this before engine and trans and body go in. For a good review of this pre-body install, go see Nick Sebastians blog at http://www.nicks33hotrod.com/p/b.html. He did a great write up on the whole process.
