JMG, did Chuck stay with the stock Billstein adjustable shocks? I know he changed springs/rates.

Chuck Powder Coated the wheels, grills and window trim. The Powder Coated window trims were flawless. I think that is the permanent answer to our faded window trim moldings.

I talked to Chuck extensively about his...lots of work to make it happen. The rear uprights are from a mid-production 348 but the rest was not too bad. I have his card but I am not sure I want to go up in size on the rims as I don't think they look right unless you drop the car and as you and I talked Allen, dropping the Mondial is really not for folks that drive them on a regular basis (ie on the street). Attached are a few pictures of Chuck's Mondial T, several folks claimed it was his favorite but he had quite a lineup, all painted in the same scheme.

Saw Chuck Lamb's Mondial t with F-40 brakes and Rotors front and rear. Looked awsome. Although he did have F-355 wheels on it. I like the combo.

Have put drilled Brembo rotors under stock wheels in an ABS 3.2, which is similar to a t, then add pads. Many suppliers.

Easy to do, not that expensive. Works well.

ANy chatters ever upgraded the brakes on the T? Mine are pretty much spent after the FCR so I am thinking about a conversion. More interested in what can be done with stock wheels but willing to entertain all knowledge.

Thanks,
JMG
