The first part of this brake guide answered some of the most common questions we hear from hot rodders when approaching new projects. One area that we have found is most overlooked on the laundry list of parts, is the brake system. Check out this closer look at the master cylinder and brake lines.

In a recent project, we watched as a Total Cost Involved Pro-Touring IFS was installed. Onto the clip went a complete Wilwood DynaPro 6 big brake front brake kit. The Wilwood brakes are an add-on that can be ordered direct from TCI when you purchase a Pro-Touring clip. We recommend that you do so, as the Wilwood brakes are quality units that are designed to work with the TCI unit.

One of the reasons why C-10 trucks are so popular is thanks to nearly 30 years of similar platforms having many of the same underlying components throughout model year changes. This not only makes a large quantity of parts available but it also makes the platform attractive to aftermarket companies because they can produce a single part number that covers a wide range of years, and as a result, a larger customer base.

The new Odyssey's reworked body structure that's both more rigid and lighter, along with a retuned suspension, provides a well-balanced combination of comfortable ride quality and confident road manners. Braking ability has also been improved via larger brake discs this year. And also particularly noticeable is just how quiet the 2011 Odyssey is, every bit as quiet as a luxury sedan.

Up until 1971, front disc brakes were only an option on GM trucks because most trucks were still seen as workhorses and relegated to the farm or work site; but converting to a disc brake setup is a must for those looking to build modern, reliable and safe C-10 trucks.

Every hot rodder's first project starts long before they actually acquire the car, and in almost all cases includes a laundry list of parts that will make their project go quicker and faster. In most cases, brakes are way down the list. In the early '90s, a friend of ours had just gotten a '65 GTO that was a great-running 389 four-barrel, four-speed car, and instead of making it stop, decided a new Edelbrock Torker intake and Holley carb were just what the doctor ordered.

Many enthusiasts think about adding more power or making their truck look better. The last thing on their list is figuring out how to better stop their truck pulling a 10,000-pound trailer.

The current version of the Toyota Camry debuted for the 2007 model year and carries through to the present. It's a front-wheel drive, midsize sedan offered in base, LE (the most popular), SE (sporty) and XLE (more luxury-oriented) models. But even the base Camry is already well-equipped with standard features such as full power accessories, stability control, antilock brakes (ABS), cruise control, air conditioning, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, a 6-speaker CD sound system, Bluetooth and satellite radio.
