Hey guys looking great. I noticed that you have not vent holes in the pedals. Still my favorite build. Keep it up!

So what your saying is, it needs to be painted lite blue. That may happen. 83% chance.

Everytime I check this build out-something else amazes me.The idea to change the brake rod direction-unreal.Been racking my brain for a while how to add a power booster/master cylinder set up.Reckon I could fab something to put the unit at a right angle above where the original cylinder would be.Thanks for the inspiration.

Just purchased the hard brake lines yesterday. It should be interesting to see how they will look.

Brake pedal stop progress, maybe a little over engineered.

Thanks as always sir. Here is the passenger side brake master foot rest. The brown boards are 3/8 Masonite cut to fit. Plan is to cover the boards with leather.

As of right now we are clear in my part. Coast took a slight hit. I was 300 miles inland and just saw clouds and a cool 20 mph wind, no rain. My buddies in the Eastern flat lands got 9-12 inches of rain.
