68 4-door "Sleeper"
I had to move the proportioning valve. Where I had it before was right next to the header. I could just imagine the header cooking and boiling the brake fluid. So, I fabricated a backet to put the proportioning valve further away from the header. At first,I sprayed it with a cheapo can of restoleum, but as soon as the brake fluid touched it, it wrinkled. So, I sandblasted it an sprayed it with a black single-stage urethane paint. It holds up much better to the brake fluid.
Also, I had to re-route ALL of the brake lines that I worked on previously. Someone mentioned before that it was unsafe to route the brake lines behind the transmission. Some kind of NHRA rule, or something. Not that I am EVER going to race this thing in a NHRA race or anything, but since I had to redo ALL of the brake lines, I rerouted the lines closer to the factory setup.
I have much more to report, but I will post more tomorrow. It's past my bedtime.
