Need advice on smooth fire wall, brakes, and other misc.

Ok, so hopefully I don't sound too stupid... but I just checked out that thread....how would you check or fill the reservoir? The builder mentioned a few components located within the cowl....but the cowl and "under the dash" isn't the same location, unless there's yet another access panel located within the cowl, seems like a hassle to me.

Doc, the clutch and brake resivoirs are flush mounted under the cowl panel wich removes with five Allen heads and is a little bit of a hassle but not that bad ..but three aluminum cans on that firewall just wouldn't look right on that firewall but we all make our own sacrifices for looks versus performance versus ease of use

Protouring66, thanks for the kind words on the chevelle it's always great to hear , as far as yours goes Greg was right in that it reguires multiple mockups and trial and error but I would be happy to answer as many questions as I can as both builds are same body dimensions and same motor size so if you want you can give me a call if you want to discuss it further

Thanks, Josh

Thank you for the advice and you will most deffinately be getting a call from me. And again I can't offer enough praise for the amazing job on that 67. I have stared holes in my screen looking at that car. It is perfection. 1 more quick question tho, the fender well/inner fenders what did you do there? It looks finished right, an understated feature but looks great, i have no inners currently my car came with none as I saved it from someone turning it into a dirt track car. I want a look that is close to that clean under the hood. this is my favorite

So you're not using the reservoir that's on the booster? It just looks like it can't be accessed.

Cool setup by the way, it's very eye pleasing.

No I'm sorry I should have been more explanatory the m/c carver is drilled and tapped for lines that run up to a remote fill ....and I'm glad we pleased your eye.....

Ahh thanks for the clarification man.

[protouring66]

wow and thank you for all the info, I do understand that alot of mock up and fab is going to be necessary but essentally I just wanted to know how much major body panel movement is necessary. And after asking I felt a bit stupid about the floor pan question. and I guess I haven't checked into vintage air that much, didn't realize they did heating as well. and again no offense was taken, appreciate all info and input anyone has on this. wanting to get all ducks in a row so to speak before attacking the car. funding is holding me back from purchasing the 572 yet. but i have access to a 454 in my shop for mock up, will it essentially get me the right deminsions for this? I know size is mostly in displacement but (dumb question time) a 572 isn't much physically bigger than a 454 is it? BBC is BBC right?

good to know i did find this doing some research today, good to have it confirmed
