Stop in for a cup of coffee

So, the Cuda is ready to go to the Stripper. I stopped by his place the other day and talked to him. But I found out he is going away on vacation for a week. So it will go there after the 19th. Meanwhile, I have been working on this original numbers matching date coded master cylinder for this Cuda. Had some trouble disassembling it and when I looked in the bore it looked good to me. I stripped all of the parts in my blast cabinet the other day and repainted the cylinder and associated parts. Today I wanted to hone it out and reassemble it. The bore is not as nice as I assumed. So now I will be delayed slightly. I found a local hydraulics shop that I can contact and maybe pay them to bore and sleeve it with brass. Here are a few pics.

Just moving the car in and out i have to really stand on the pedal and there is no weay this thing would panic stop. BUTi haven't bedded in the pads or anything yet..so still hoping.. With drums i never had any that just didn't work and stop really well

No way that's master cylinder related right?
 
Well, went to a local car show today. Was a nice time, car ran great, although I need to tighten up the steering box. Wanders pretty good in the wind. All tie rods and such are nice and tight. Didn't check the ball joints. All is still 1971 original parts!

I do have a sinus issue going on. Pressure and vertigo. Very uncomfortable driving the Demon
