Black as it can get with no metallic...SPI black with their universal clear, which i think i already mentioned. Great company!

Changed the pedals back to the manual assembly. Once again, I had major issues with the chinese reproduction pedal and had to replace the shaft and alter a few other things...took me about two hours.

Wiring is going very slowly, but that is just how it works. Ill update as i make progress.

Thanks! It looks like you have a 64... Is that correct?

The clutch kit came with this cheap plastic reservoir, which i decided was going to stick out like a sore thumb in the engine bay. So, i spent some extra money on a Ring Brothers billet reservoir.

I thought about where to mount it for a long time and finally decided that it would look best if I mounted it to the Driver's side female hood catch.

Next I bent, flared, and attached the brake lines to the ABS Master Cylinder

My tools of choice. The hydraulic flaring tool was expensive, but it certainly has come in handy over the past 10 years!

A small can of STP belt dressing worked well for curling the lines.

The only wrenches I have ever owned that can get the stainless lines tight enough to seal them.

I mounted the electric brake booster from ABS to the driver's upper frame rail.

Looking pretty sexy on this side of the engine bay! I'm quite happy with the purchases I've made for this car!

Love the build,, just wondering tire size and backspacing on front ?? Are you going to have to modify front fender wells ? to get it not to scrub,, when turned ?

The steel wheels are just rollers from an original chassis and don't fit well on the new chassis. 245's will fit up front without a problem. I don't think i would want to modify the wheel wells after paint...that would be very poor planning on my part! Without modifying or adding aftermarket rear quarters, 295's are the max for the rear.
