Wait what car are we on 1835 or is that 1836. Man you blow thru these builds sweet ride.

Nice !

Replaced the driver side floor board.



Replaced the lame '80s Mopar steering column and replaced it with a '65 Wildcat column (no switch, no shifter).



Positioned the master cylinder/pedal assembly.

always liked the bullet nose

are you going to run one or two masters for the brakes?

l ALWAYS run a dual or as l put on the 30ISH sedan, a front and rear single.

the one thing l learned the hard way( as in hit the wall at the circle track a few times) are brakes are your'e best friend and when ya lose'em, ya ain't driven', yer just along for the ride till she stops (or in my case, crashes and stops upsidedown and on fire).

just my thoughts, l like to try and help, hate to see something happen to such a beautiful car.

Yes, it's a dual set up, you can see the tabs for the other cylinder...I just have to patch the hole the previous owner cut.

[TiredIronGRB]

Got the engine positioned, firewall patched.







Seats mounted, picked up a silver metalflake steering wheel.



Changed valve covers.
