Moving forward and collecting more parts. Here are the brake master cylinder and clutch master cylinder. The brake system on the 507 uses a remote booster which is housed in the inner fender behind the wheel house and immediately below the side vent. Depending on model and production date, the location varied on what side it was on. I finally found a suitable remote booster and that will be here next week.

The other news is the motor was just picked up by the shipper and should be here next week too! This is the Olds 215 versus the Buick 215. I was able to do a swap with a gentleman who builds these for the MG crowd (a popular swap) and we worked a deal to trade motors. Really worked out well. The engine was run for a few hours and is ready to go! After installation and when things are all running correctly I'll add my BMWesque parts to get it closer to looking the part.

These are faux knock off caps and a wheel plate that I'll fabricate a center cap that will give the illusion of the Rudge knock off wheels. Unscrew the knock off lug and the cap will come off revealing the lugs for easy wheel removal.

Bodywork begins to smooth over dips and such that my mediocre metal work couldn't produce. More to come!

Cheers
