Front and rear master are 2 separate small master cylinders, third is the clutch master. There’s a balance bar between the front and rear to set preload and brake pedal pressure. P

One new photo today.
Billy got the steering column all done using some leftover tubing and the finally correct steering wheel adapter. It took 3 try’s to find one I both liked and fit the old Superior 500 wheel. Next up is to finish the motor plates and the ladder bars, then install the housing floaters and his end is complete. Should have the car back within a couple of weeks. Pretty exciting. Now to find fiberglass rambler fenders lol.

That's a great picture of you in the drivers seat!

Thanks. Bill said this car would’ve been easier to do had I not been a 6’3” oaf with a size 13 foot. It’s a small car and while I fit in it just fine we joke I should’ve started with a bigger car! Lol.

Just ordered fiberglass fenders, a hood, and bumpers from showcars fiberglass in Ontario. Their reviews online are terrible. But they’re the only ones that list parts for this car and the guy says they’ll ship next week. I’ll update when something happens.

Small update for today.
Spent the last few days on breaks and lunches at work cleaning and prepping the Enderle hat. I’m still waiting for nozzles to finish the hat for now. But it’s all polished and cleaned. The butterflies were sticky when I bought it and all the O rings in the barrel valve had turned to plastic. Everything is all rebuild and nice now.
The chassis shop almost has the car done. I might be picking it up next week. I need to put new tires on my open trailer to go pick it up.

A friend of mine who’s an excellent tig welder helped me make the surge tank to eventually feed the Enderle hat. I’m waiting for the aluminum bungs to weld into for the main pump feed and returns.

Thanks for reading.

Small two photo update. The front motor plates are done and installed. And the housing sliders for the rear are tacked into place. I made plans to spend the day there Thursday and come home with the car. Now I have to get everything ready to bring it home. So once it’s home I’ll have a big update.

Big update time
Left for the shop at 3:45am to get there around 7am. Spent the morning building a driveshaft loop into the chassis rails, then added a few more tabs and built a loop into the main bar of the cage to use as a headrest mount eventually. By the time all that was done it was about 2pm.
Got the car back on the ground and loaded up on the trailer. Went to get a soda with Bill and then brought everything home.
Pictures show all of that stuff being built, the finished rear suspension. The finished motor plates and lateral mount. The finished steering column and pedal assembly. The car being put on the ground for the first time in 4 months, and the ride home. Once home I unloaded the car and all the spare parts to give my dad back his truck that I stole for the day.
This car has really turned into more than originally planned. But I’m ok with that. Thanks for reading and feel free to comment.

Spent some time yesterday just staring at the car listening to music. I changed the wheels and tires to make sure I’m still happy with how the car sits. I’m very happy with how the car sits.

Next order of business is radiator/fender mount, and shock mounting.
