Always the hardest part after a build is done "The pre show cleanup" lmao

Same thing with the 1/8-27 NPT plug for the brake light switch I removed.

I'm currently doing the same brake setup as you. Wilwood rear with e brake, I have belltech 3" drop spindles and 1" drop spring for the wilwood d52 fronts, I have a 1 1/8" wilwood master and adj prop and am stuck there for the moment. My truck was factory disk/drum so I have a Delco booster, I'm looking to replace it and am stumped what booster I should replace it with or even get a reman Delco from AutoZone. I'm doing what you and z10 have done, looks good and works well. Any tips or advice. I believe my factory master that mated to the Delco had a bigger bore. The factory grommet on my stock master/booster flange area seems not to work with the wilwood perfectly, is that seal important? I have the longer shaft rod on booster that meets master so I do not think I need to use the bullet. My old Delco is nasty and I'm in need of a new one for my setup, the cad coat look is nice and simular to factory so I'm leaning that direction after debating refinishing my factory booster gloss black.

Awesome Build!

Finished it a few weeks ago, whole new suspension and brakes. Disk front and back, even got a front sway bar installed off a 84 I refinished.

Haven't updated this in a while so I thought I would pop in. There really isn't anything to update. I did break the 20k mile mark last night. Knock on wood, the miles have been mostly trouble free. Anyway, here's a picture fromy the other night.

That's a great looking truck!

Still looks fresh from here.

Also, I took it for a 80-90 mile trip this afternoon and broke over the 8k mile mark since finishing it in May (ish) of 2013. Most of those miles have came in the last 2 years. The whole first year I was worried too much about it not being "perfect" (it was never anywhere near perfect) if I drove it too much. But I've since realized that driving it is much more fun than looking at it in the garage. Driving it so much has caused it to loose that fresh look, particularly underneath. But I don't care anymore, i just love driving it too much.
On another note, I bought another project the other day. Just got it home this evening. Its a 67 Chevelle that was originally a marina blue Malibu. It has had 99% of the metal work that needed done finished. It currently has a 350/350 and actually runs and drives fairly decent. I will be starting a build thread soon in the alternate tinkerings section. I have a 68 camaro that I was working on slowly. I think I'm going to put it on the backburner and work on the Chevelle. Anyway, everyone loves pics...

Did you do a build thread on this or the Camaro?

Thanks Steve!

I did start build threads in the alternate tinkerings forum here for both the Camaro and the Chevelle. The Camaro didn't get too far before I found the Chevelle and decided to focus on it. So the Camaro has been shelved for now. The best place to check out the Chevelle build is on the pro touring site http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/1...Chevelle-Build I keep it a bit more updated than the build thread in the alternate tinkering section here. Not much traffic in that section.

I took my son to a nature center to do some hiking last weekend, the little road you take up to the trailhead seemed like a nice place to snap a couple of pictures with my phone. Anyway, here's my very amateur attempt at photography

Still looking great!

[knomadd]

Looks great to me! Can't tell you're an amateur or that it was from a cell phone.

[mcbassin]

Your truck looks great!
