On the power brake grommet...check with wes at classic heartbeat. I think he's one of the only guys with them right now. Or watch ebay as they pop up on there often...

Spoke with Wes at Classic Heartbeat a few minutes ago. Those brake rod boot for the firewall is not available at this time and he is out of the old stock. On the up side, he is having them reproduced but it might be 3-6 months before they are available.

I should have most of what I need for re-assembly on the way.

The brake booster will get installed without it for now. This morning I installed the gas pedal, the crankcase vent hose and painted the top of the radiator and some bolt heads so I can get the hood latch assembled.

I'm waiting for my bro-in-law to finish powder coating the hood hinges and a few other parts, but will use a spare set I have in case I can get it back in the paint booth sooner than that. Should be mounting the fenders up in a couple days.
