Looks good! What master cylinder and booster did you use? Any clearance issues with the booster? Thanks

Used a Ford style master and prop valve from Speedway.
# 91664054. I am running manual brakes. I tried a booster/master cylinder kit and had nothing but problems with it. Scrapped it and went to just manual brakes which seem to be plenty.

Got the 8 track back today. Sounded great at the shop. A little surprised honestly! Will get some new speakers and put it back in the car shortly.

Talking to my radio guy, he said I could bring in the stock tube radio and he would clean, inspect and add blue tooth to it.

Previously I mentioned having my 8 track repaired. Well I need to power it until I get around to doing the 12v conversion. Ended up using M12 batteries and mounted the adapter in the glove box for now.

Also repaired the clock. Cleaned and adjusted points, painted hands and oiled the mechanism. So far, its keeping pretty good time.
