Nice power in that thing. What's with the spinout ? Applied brakes after letting off the gas ?

Yup she hit the brakes a little too much.
Tom said it was just the bumper and trim, no paint, they got lucky.

Rear brakes grabbed harder than the fronts. Spin out is inevitable at speed.
Same thing happened to me in my 78 Lebaron on a slick road.

I have spun from rear brake bias. I install 3/4 or 7/8 rear cylinders to help prevent the rear lock up before front.

Handled that nicely I thought!
What has more influence? Size of the cylinder bore or width of the shoes?
I'm suspect of the benefits of so-called heavy duty 3" shoes. Because of this.

The CHP cars had the standard 2-1/2" shoes (11")
This is a genuine retired CHP car.
