    New master cylinder, this is a upgrade,
    Thanks Topcat for the help with the pics
    I only get about 2 weeks every 3 months to work on my car due to my travel.

    I had to replace my POS blast cabinet, got one from Harbor Freight, took a day to put this together, this pic is in process. Its good a cabinet, the hose for the blast media is weak and I replaced it.

    I remember seeing on this site one business that sells Shaker hood scoops that are already painted. Does anyone remember his name. If I can find a scoop that I like I am going to buy a RT Hood and call it a day. I am a ways off from needing it, I like to plan ahead.

    Just found this thread.  Nice Chally and love the color.  :2thumbs:  Sometimes I wish I had painted my 'Cuda  plum crazy instead of black.  Looking forward to seeing your progress.  :ylsuper:
