Not a real car obviously, but its coming out pretty decent. Because I'm not getting response from Mr. Newcomb on his (that I already paid for unfortunately), I now need to purchase a replacement. Because of the project I have narrowed down my need to either Booster Dewey or Ramman. Thoughts on product? Price? Thanks for any feedback!

Good to know in case I end up putting the Hemi in the Bee and I don't want to waste a g note plus on a booster

I told him I had Cass's brackets and he modified the booster as needed. It's on the car and every single piece fit and works perfect. I can try to get some pictures later today if needed, as I have the car back in to fix some bugs. But it might be tomorrow as I have a funeral to attend this afternoon.

Wayne (Ramman) told me that some of the setups out there may result (due to bracket geometry) in only 80% pedal/brake pressure?? Looks are important but function is REAL important. Btw, I'm running factory disc or front, with Cass's disc brake set up in the rear.

I finished my 71 hemi convertible and it was a part left over and It's setting on the shelf unused. PM if interested, reasonable. logan426 618-322-7587
