Luckily I found a guy on eBay who sells the curved corner piece in Plexiglas for $75 each. Already received it and it looks good. The body is straight with just a few small dents and scrapes down the side.

Re: 1957 Chevy Grumman Front Disk Brake Conversion
I wonder if a hydroboost could work for the brakes. it would take less physical space.

Re: 1957 Chevy Grumman Front Disk Brake Conversion
easy peasy to get a mc in there
leave the pedals as are (clutch is optional ) cut off the old mc (leaving the pedal mount) and make a bracket to mount the new mc or hydroboost a foot behind the old mc make a new rod to connect the pedals to the new mc look at orrieg's build for ideas, my hydroboost is at the pedals, it is a little tight to everything orrieg has his mc 1 ft behind the pedals

It is a "Shorty" at 104" or 108" (still need to measure it) and that is the reason we bought it.

Are you going to install a truck V6 in this van?
