Hey guys looking great. I noticed that you have not vent holes in the pedals. Still my favorite build. Keep it up! _________________ I think he meant "rare", as in "not well-done" |

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. |
