Sooooo the Paintman spent the weekend doing short test drives to make sure all the mechanicals in the engine compartment work before I bolt the fenders and grille on. All in all everything worked perfect except for the brakes. For some reason I have good pedal when the engine is off, but when I turn the engine on and activate the booster the pedal gets to sloppy for my liking. The brakes work, but the pedal goes to far to the floor before they get firm. I am going to disconnect the vacuum line and see how the brakes work without power assist.
