Getting ready for Indy . . .

Gas tank in place . . .

Master cylinder in place & lines bent . . .

Checking ground clearance (body is off, but there will still be about 4 in between oil pan & road, and 5 in between deuce grill & road.

Progress is the sweet result of good thinking and perseverance. I'm looking forward to seeing more pix and the end result in Indy.......lyle

In picture 2 it looks as if you have the lines reversed. Large resovoir should be used for front brakes.

This has already been corrected. Good catch!

PS - There are 2 schools of thought on this. Master Power Brakes, from their "Tech Talk" column at their web site says, "When dual reservoir master cylinders originally made it onto the scene, one of the reservoirs was much larger than the other. This was generally considered the reservoir for the drum brakes due to the sheer volume of fluid needed to push the brake shoes out followed by the return of all that fluid back to the master cylinder. Disc brakes didn’t require the same volume in the reservoir."

However, others with a lot of experience in brakes say the front brakes are ALWAYS plumbed to the largest reservoir, and that's the way I'm doing it. Speedway and Spirit both show this method.

PPS - Here's the brake lines hooked up properly (IMHO); and, NO, Bill, they are NOT copper; steel with a rust preventive coating on them.
