Been kinda lazy today. But figured as long as the engine and blocksanding are on hold for now, might as well get something done. I put the trunk lid and center spoiler on, guess it's time to get brave n drill the holes for the end pieces lol
First gotta get the spoiler centered on the trunk lid.
I got a stud kit on ebay awhile back.

Got the middle piece centered and the right side on. I just stuck the tail light in with no bolts, thats why the left side is not all the way in. Just wanted to see how it looked lol
On to the left side.

Was gonna start to reinstall my wiring harness, but I forgot I do not have a headlight harness that plugs into the main fuse box. So that gives me a reason to bite the bullet on the non budget I have(lol) and get an EZ wiring kit.
Not sure which kit yet. Prolly one of these two. I'll so more research when the time comes.

Not much progress today, but I did get both rear emergency brake cables on. Both cables are Inline Tube, I got off Ebay real cheap. Great cables, fit great. Hopefully tomorrow I can stop at Autozone and pick up 2 rear wheel cylinders and finish up the rear brakes.

Ok, got the new master on, and just put on one line for the prop valve just to see. Looks like I need to mock up the inner fender and steering column to decide where the new home will be for the prop valve.
Hopefully more to come tomorrow.

Yes that is a new prop valve that came with the car when I bought her.

Heres a coule pics of how I mounted the Willwood master to the stock clutch pedal (thanks Mark)

Found a new home for the prop valve. Gonna start building the new bracket.

Got the brackets made. After dinner I will get them welded to the frame.

Got the bracket mounted.

Got the lines on from the master to the prop valve. Got 2 tiny kinks in the 1/4" line but I don't think it will bother anything. The 1/4" was much harder to bend then the 3/16". Wish I could have gotten the 1/4" as tight in a circle as the 3/16".
Hopefully more to come tomorrow.

Got the e-brake bracket sandblasted n ready to install. Also drilled in the floor for the cable and 2 holes to weld the bracket. I now see I should have done this before she came off the rotisserie or at least before the subrame went on. But no biggie, we got it

Got the bracket welded in place.
Hopefully more to come tomorrow
