You may not notice a difference in the before and after photos but I assure you everything is cleaned and rebuilt internally per my request. I'm very happy with how everything turned out. Luckily the master cylinder wasn't pitted and did not need to be sleeved. Martin from Power Brake Exchange in San Jose performed the rebuild of the booster, master, and both valves. When I went to him with my odd request to leave everything crusty he said, "I've been doing this 36 years I know exactly what you are looking to do". He proceded to take everything apart, put it a bucket and it was ready for me to pickup within a few days. I'm considering cleaning the parts with a simple degreaser.

Dash is finally done! 97k original miles, original paint, original gm unrestored parts with exception of the glove box liner (repop) and lock cylinders (restored).
My car was ordered without accessory lighting thus no glove box light.

As said, fantastic job with original pieces..
Have you acquired a donor piece of a tunnel to repair the inline shifter butchery ? Or are you going to use a day 2 shifter in there ?

The original owner simply cut two slits on the left side of the shifter hole and bent it down. I bent it back up so the original shifter boot will screw right into the factory location. I'll just seal where the two slits were made for now. The car has other areas of butchery that will be addressed down the road but the metalwork isn't a priority at this point. I simply want to resurrect the car while making the interior nice. I'm either going to run the early hurst shifter with the 4527 stick or a P&G shifter. Either way it's not going to be a factory shifter for now.

Muncie refreshed with new gaskets, seals, and Thrust washers. I had to install a helicoil because one of the bearing retainer bolts was simply epoxied to the case.
Engine and transmission finally in the car. A lot of little things to be done before first fire up.
