Brakes done. The pedal has about 1.5-1.75in of motion before getting rock solid and the parking brake lever about 4".....everything seems about right but I won't know for sure until I drive it. Also since the parking master in now out of the cabin I saw no reason to run lines inside and mounted the proportioning valve to the pedal box and it's currently set to FULL pressure drop so I KNOW the rears aren't going to lock. I'll adjust everything to more optimal than my best guess once it's running. On to exhaust.

I built the front 2-1 collector which is the last collector. A little mistake on the cutting....but I fit a fill piece and all it well.

Here's what's left on the to-do list. It says 70 hours but I'm thinking the real number is closer to 100 and I'm looking at mid June to wrap it up.

I'm scared to even ask what welding African style is! :)

I did just order some SS wire for my MIG welder to making tacking WAY faster and easier.
