Looks great Johnny.

Quick bit of advice:Get yourself some cast-blast in a rattle can,spray it into a small container and brush it onto your master cylinder carefully.You won't even have to remove the lid,just remove the snap ring and work slowly & carefully.Since it's a cast finish,it'll look very professional after you're done.
You know how the eye always goes to the only defect and man...there's not much to fault with your ride man...
5 minutes worth of work will pay off handsomely...

Yeah, I agree the brake reservoir is an eyesore. Is that the name of the product "cast-blast" and where can I buy some? That's definitely a quick mod worth doing.

any good parts store will stock it,castblast is just a name used in terms of a shade of color but many will sell it as such.
I did mine quickly on my '70 Z/28 the day before the magazine shoot and it looked perfect in the pictures.Will take you all of 15 minutes...and you won't have to make any excuses to anyone when you lift your hood.

Johnny, those Rushforths look absolutely awesome on your ride. A perfect compliment to the body style and the paint. Congratulations on a great build!

John

Paint it right after you install the drop springs! HAHA! But seriously, I love Johnny's car and people were all over it all weekend at the show with six figure cars all around us. I don't think Johnny was ready for it or realizes how cool his car is!

We're really stoked at the response to the new wheel design too. Thanks everybody! Johnny got the first set but they're available in any size and width and can be ready in 3-4 weeks!

The car looks awesome. Jason told me about it but it was great seeing the pics. Jason--the wheels look killer. I can't wait to see it w/ a little lower stance. GREAT CAR!!
