Making progress, the big stuff is done.

Wanted to post up a couple pics and say thanks to everyone who has answered questions since I started on this. The help has been invaluable.

Lookin' GOOD

 

Looking good- wish you were closer, I'd buy those tires from you

 

What master cylinder and booster did you use??

That looks great.

High5

 

Thanks for all the replies

The booster is from Pirate Jack on Ebay. They're the front end for a large brake company that specializes in aftermarket brake systems for hot rods and customs. I think it's MBC or something like that. They were really easy to work with. I checked quite a few boards before buying from them and I don't recall any negative press on them.

 

Wow, I really dig the 302! Bet that sucker gets up and boogies.

 

The engine was built as a trail engine to pull from 400 to 4000 rpm in a 6000 pound rig. It gets the job done R) Can't wait to get this one on the road to see how it does in a truck that weighs about half as much.
