me going to work on the truck today finally

**Gregski** · 10-07-2020, 08:24 PM

so the worlds longest front brake job may be coming to an end

I did notice the PO put some random non Camaro front brake hose bracket on (rusty bit in the first pic at 11 o'clock), so I jumped on eBay and found and bought a proper one, we can't have that at Pebble Beach fellas

Houston !

**Gregski** · 10-16-2020, 11:32 PM

yup just dropped another $145 on this master brake booster remote reservoir thingie thing, thats' with tax, license, clear coat, finders fee, and shipping

it was either this or taking the sawsall to the driver floor pan with surgical precision

**Gregski** · 10-17-2020, 08:02 PM

hey I know lets cut up that perfect fit brand new powder coated well made transmission crossmember

**Gregski** · 10-17-2020, 08:05 PM

lets see if we can manhandle it a little bit

aha aha, measure once cut twice, and it's still too short (kidding)

**Gregski** · 10-17-2020, 08:07 PM

alright a snip here and a tuck there and we are clearing the master blaster cylinder contraption

**Gregski** · 10-17-2020, 08:09 PM

who knew Hot Roddin' was a contact sport, man I tell ya two steps forward one step back, now the trans crossmember is hugging the exhaust pipe so we got to cut the intermediate pipe out and move it back 2"

**Gregski** · 10-18-2020, 11:41 PM

so no pics but a quick update, I unbolted the intermediate exhaust pipe and cut it, welded in a 2" extension, and bolted it back up, now the transmission crossmember clears both the master cylinder and the exhaust pipe, win win

I wanted to re weld the transmission cross member but I need more pipe material for an extension now that it's slid over to the left more

texxxan · 10-19-2020, 08:36 AM

Someone has been very busy!! Awesome work. Perfect motivation to get me working on my project.
