My skills are finally catching up to what I'm trying to do with this car. I did start back up working on it however and installed...

Well I put the wheels on and sorted the brakes out for the time being. I installed the Dr. Diff 15/16 manual brake master cylinder kit which is really nice for the money.

Yes. The one on the left is a torq thrust II and the one on the right is a torq thurst with 50th anniversary caps.

Ok so update on my parts hunting for brakes stuff. Thanks zfriedbauer he helped me out with some spindles and caliper brackets. I found out if you buy summit brand semi metallic pads for a 76 valiant they're bendix pads for 15.99. I pretty much have every thing I need to swap from drums to disc...

Ha we just got a new Wendy's in town that my wife insist we eat at at least once or twice a week and I have never once got my order right. I don't order anything special either they just forget things like fries when you order a combo. Really come on... they know me as the furious guy because...
