Small update.
I’m still trying to figure out if im going to the Supercar reunion. It’s awesome that you guys thought to reach out and offer. Just trying to put the trip together now, as well as get the car back together.
It’s a little over 800 miles to get to Bowling Green for me. Id be leaving early Friday morning(like 1am) to get to Beech Bend in the afternoon. Spend Friday and Saturday at the show. And then drive home Sunday.
But onto the car. I spent some time yesterday installing a new master cylinder on it, and by new I mean a 56 year old Wagner Lockheed that I bought a NOS rebuild kit for on eBay. The easier thing to do would’ve been to go to the local auto parts store and buy a Chinese or Mexican rebuild. But I hate doing that, and would rather spend money on 50+ year old Made in USA parts. I just need to finish a line or 2 and then I can bleed that and hopefully the brakes will be much better.
2nd thing was getting the rear back together with the J bolt bars. Unfortunately after installing everything I found that the way the car is tubbed the J bolt brackets rub the inside of the tire. So no J bolts on this car right now. Otherwise the car is mostly back together. I’ll spend some time this afternoon buttoning things up.
