The project has been moving slowly until recently. Here are some updated photos of the progress so far.

Well I'm happy to say she's FINALLY finished (for the most part) and now driving! My apologies for not keeping my posts up to date for those that have been following this build. I'll fill in the blanks as best I can with a few more posts and finish off with a short driving video.

The steering column was finally completed with all new internals including a new steering wheel. Getting the horn to work correctly was a major PITA! I felt kinda dumb when I realized loosening the column bolts under the dash allowed me to slide the assembly closer to the steering wheel to close the gap so the brush would make better contact instead of the other way around.













I decided to use the Willwood Combination valve to accompany the front disk conversion. It will allow me to always have maximum pressure to the front brakes while allowing me to dial in the pressure to the rear without locking up. It also has a switch integrated on it that I used to work the brake lights and deleted the pedal arm switch.

I welded up a mounting bracket and installed it next to the Master Cylinder so the adjustment is within easy reach.

At some point over the years with relocating twice, I lost some drivelines somehow. Also the front axle from the '78 caused the original driveline to be too long so a local shop made these for me and they turned out excellent!!

I don't have a photo of these being finished but I sprayed them with semi-gloss black engine enamel.









I decided to upgrade the dash pad to a sport version from TMI. The picture quality isn't the greatest because of the shop light. Hopefully you might be able to see the double stitching that matches the paint color.

Here she is completed. I'll post a short driving video in the video section.
