The second dogbone was installed last night - first the motor needed to be pulled so the firewall bracket could be installed. Then back in the car to fit the dogbone. Unfortunately, the water pump shroud will need to be modified to miss the new pa
The cutting brakes also got plumbed last night. We ran the line feeding the cutting brake through the hole where the clutch master cylinder used to go, then along the driver's door sill to behind the driver's seat. More pics soon.[This message has been edited by artworks (edited 07-15-2017).]

May I ask how you wired the plumbing for the brakes?

I used the stock proportioning valve but upgraded the master cylinder to an S-10 - it mounts up to the stock brake booster just fine and provides a larger piston to support the bigger brakes. The front lines run as stock. The rear runs to the cutting brakes then split to the left and right rear wheels just like a tee fitting would. I'll take some photos so you can see what I mean.

I'm going to repaint the badges with the original background in red, then mount them on the massive B pillar. They're from an early 1950's rear quarter panel on the Chieftan. |

Those are cool! Is there a source for those (new or used)? Ebay? What is the approximate diameter on those? 2'?

The "Chief" emplems are from the rear quarter panels on Pontiacs from the early 1950's. I've seen a few at swap meets but these came from my wife - she convinced one of my hot rod buds to sell her these for my birthday. They're about 3.5" diameter and stainless steel. I polished them up and am having the background painted red by a pinstriper friend. Good luck finding them - I've seen a few on ebay over the years.

Sorry I haven't been posting - I finally got the car to my shop so the bodywork can begin. But first I needed to finish a cutting block for a friend's wedding gift. I've just started working on the front clip - the grille is being reworked for a Pontiac "moustache". I'll post pics soon. Now that the chassis and running gear are done and I have the car close to home I can make some progress on those long winter nights.
