It was like they were partially applied all of the time. I was able to cure the problem by shimming the master cylinder out about 1/8 of an inch from the booster (edit). As a quick test to see if this might be your problem, after you notice the problem stop the car and loosen the master cylinder mounting bolts. If the brakes release when you do that, you probably need to shim the master cylinder out or shorten the pushrod slightly.

Hmmmm... the brake booster was relocated 90 degrees to a spot under the fender. It may be that the linkage geometry isn't quite right which may be causing the problem you describe.
Good info here everyone... I need as much input as possible. I need to get the car ready for next weekend. Keep it coming!
Thanks.
