Is a 7" booster large enough for 4 wheel disks?

Do those power window kits use existing glass guides/channels?

Have any of you ever though about or used a spray-on type bedliner on running boards?

What's the best thing to do to get a custom drive shaft? Do it myself or buy?

And in english....................

1) The size of the master cylinder would be more critical. 7" boosters are used all the time.

2)Usually all you get with the power window kit is the regulator, a switch with some wiring, and the channel that attaches to the bottom of the glass to connect to the regulator.

3) Only on a farm truck.

4) Only make it yourself if you have a big enough lathe to make precision cuts and the balancing equipment to keep it from shaking your teeth out. Most good drive shaft companies will supply you with a drawing to show how to measure correctly. You'll need the slip joint for your trans to help be more accurate. Or, you could use a 4x4 like Spraytech.

I see my see that my idea on the running boards went over like a fart in a diving helmet. Here is what I have. My boards need sandblasting, and they are full of 1/8" holes. I had always planned on buying the rubber covers for a few hundred bucks, but they will probably dryrot in a couple of years. Some of the spray-on jobs I have seen are pretty smooth, and I like the durability. I plan to actually use my car when I get finished, and people (especially children) will be stepping on the boards all of the time. It's just a thought. I guess I will keep my idea about making new ones out of diamond plate to myself.

As for the brakes, all I know is that I have a 7" booster and a ford-type master cylinder (from Zig's). My front brakes are 11", and I have drums on the rear at the moment.
