My first muscle car build thread (lots of pics)

Water pump is installed and works like a charm.

Today I replaced the passenger side rubber hose and caliper. I thought perhaps they were the cause of my brake problem. they did not fix anything. So I figured screw it let me measure the master cylinder push rod and try adjusting it. I messed with it a bit, and got the adjustment where I thought it should be. wheels spun as free as they did before adjusting and I had adjusted the rod about 1/4 inch! the brakes are finally decent now!!! Its been at least a year I've been trying to fix them. So thats a huge monkey off my back.

The bad thing is my year old angled oil filter seals are leaking. I am hoping the bolt just needs to be tightened a bit more or something stupid. It started hailing as i was trying to fix it so I gave up for the day.

the good news is i drove the car maybe 100 miles, Its great. There are still a few minor problems here and there but seems
solid.

Also I'm thinking of rattle canning it flat black this weekend so all the body panels are at least he same color. what do you guys think? good idea? I promise I'm going to get some pictures up soon.
