thank you,
Most of the seams are all welded in, as far as the interior goes, I got rid of the speaker hole and defroster vents, cig lighter, ashtray, and glove box, but any other seam in the interior is still there.
Brake booster
This babies going to have manual brakes. Like the old saying goes, if you can lock up the tires with manual brakes, power brakes cant do anything more than that
Seriously, I had all intentions of running a booster, but when I installed it, it was 1/16th of an inch away from my (tall) valve cover, figured the first time I torqued the motor, the valve cover would be history. So decided I would go with manual brakes, helps keep the engine bay cleaned up also, As you can notice, that was a concern of mine.
Good luck with your project...They are definitely a labor of love.
