5/8" master cylinder insalled for rear brakes, line lock plumbed for the front.
Bit the bullet and got a Fastrax caster/camber gauge and did a complete alignment. I set the caster for 6 degrees to go along with the power steering I'm going to install.

I plan on weatherproofing my unit with this stuff. Supposed to be out by mid 2012.

Great choice of wheels. I've been looking at those also. What size did you settle on? I'm still bending fuel lines.

UPDATE AS OF OCTOBER 4, 2014
Well it's confession time. It's been three years today since the hot rod went on the "rock star" tour to SEMA and World of wheels car show circuit of winter 2011-12'. I drove the car quite a bit that following summer, did some autocross and a bunch of car shows. But things kind of stalled out after that.

So while I waited on parts, there were a few other things I wanted/needed to do.
The steering seemed a little sloppy and traced it to the rack had lateral play in it. The is no support bushing on the drivers side so I could see the rack rock back and forth which translates into play in the steering. Sent the rack to Unisterer and they said it was fine, but I had emailed them a video showing them the movement so they tried to tighten it up after they saw the video.

I also wanted to replace the crooked grille shell with the newer updated version from FFR. And of course with the square grille, the hood and side panels don't fit right (which I knew wouldn't). But I'm OK with that as I want to do some other mods anyway.
While I was at it, I replaced the radiator. I had a put a small hole in it and repaired it but was not confident it would hold. I also though it might be contaminated and not cooling effectively. (Had used stop leak at one point to fix the pinhole)

Also had wanted to update the sprigs so I did the rear to front spring swap and got the softer rear springs from Breeze. Defiantly made an improvements, not so harsh a ride.

So I was able to get out and get a couple hundred miles on it and hit some shows. But, now on to another project for a friend of mine so it will be a while before I can get back to the hot rod, there are still more upgrades I want to do before next summer.
Doing body and paint on a '69 Cutlass now.
So that's my update. I kept thinking I would update my build thread when I got everything done, but things kept getting in the way so I figured now was as good a time as any.
