Currently, I am working on the brakes. I started by replacing the master cylinder with a Tilton Series 74 master cylinder with a 5/8" bore. I found another rebuilder that had used the same system, and was happy with it, so I went with that. After getting it, I found that another swap would have given me a dual cylinder setup, which I would have preferred. Maybe in the future...
I am debating on what kind of brake lines to replace the originals with, and if to replace them at all. I want to get the car up on a lift to check out the condition of the originals. If they are in reasonable condition, I'm just going to leave them on the car.
I got a buddy of mine to have the rotors turned down. They probably didn't need it, but I wanted to get the rust off of it and get the pits turned down.
Next is going to be the exhaust, or the coolant pipes. I was thinking I wanted to have both made out of continuous runs of tubing, but it seems like it is going to cost an arm and a leg to get it done. So, I think the exhaust is going to be a few angles and some straight pipe welded together, and ground to make it look good.
It seems like the tubing for the coolant may be able to bent out of continuous pipe, but it is going to require some big tools. Luckily, I may be able offset the price of the tools by splitting with some guys looking to do their own roll cages.
