Re: Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics
Who makes the ebrake assembly, Orrie? Looks like a stocker out of a 70's vintage Chev.

Re: Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics
It is a 74 truck part using the 74 cable back to the stock 59 pivot pulley. I found that the firewall stud spacing is the same as the 59 hood spring bracket bolts. Cut off the studs, drill out the bracket, use longer bolts on the hinge brackets and bolt it in. Cable requires a hole in the floor like the 74 but works with a stock hole in the frame. Only down side I see so far is you have to loosen the brake bracket bolts inside to loosen the hinge bolts for hood adjustment. Once the hood is tightened down than retighten the bracket. I will take some more photos and post them.

Re: Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics
Car fairies sprinkled some dust on me today and I scored a vintage set of M/T finned valve covers. Been searching for some time but all seem to be over priced or have cracks and bad repair jobs. These need old forest green paint removed (to match the car it was on he told me) but are solid. I am going to try and sneak out in the garage this week end and clean them up. Photos coming.

Re: Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics
Bob, I really wanted to get a set of 60's Corvette ones, but the prices are more than I want to pay for now. Here are two shots, one as I got them, second after stripping. Tomorrow hope to dig out the blaster to finish. Color was dark metallic green. They had been painted yellow before that. Still deciding if I will run them bare or partial paint.
