Front and rear drivers side fenders are done.

I finished up the drivers side fenders this morning. Got them bolted on the car so that we can start mocking up tires and get suspens
ion ordered.

More brake lines.

I got the lines completely run for the front brakes. And the first main line for the rear brakes is also made. Now its just the line across the rear cross-member to the other side and the brake lines are done.

Start of the Brake Lines

I started on the brake lines tonight. I'm running stainless steel lines and fittings. The lines run from the master cylinder to the residual valves for both the front and rear. Then the bottom line runs to the proportioning valve that will allow me to control when the rear brake activate so that the rear brakes don't lock up first.

Bendix Brake Conversion

So I wanted to keep the look of my 40' ford backing plates. But I didn't want to mess with the original internal hardware. So i'm converting the backing plate to accept modern bendix style self energizing and self adjusting hardware.

So first thing to do is to make room for the bottom adjuster. So I had to section the bottom piece outward. I welded in the nut from the back side so that it still looks like the shoes are mounted solid on the bottom.
