Nice shots of a clean machine, Jim 8)

When you shoot for the brake upgrade, might ought to change out the single reservoir master cylinder. This would be major safety upgrade. It all looks clean and new now but a leak in any of the lines will wipe out the brakes altogether.

Yep. That's why we have a working parking brake and horn. :D

+1 on what Joe said. I did a manual disk brake up grade (front) on my daughter’s 66, put a dual mc on as well, works fine, and hopefully don’t have to worry about using the e-brake with a brake line failure.

Great pics, bet it’s a fun driver.
