Things to do
Just adding to my to do list
Due to clearance issues on my 1960 ( 250 L6 with Hydraulic clutch)I am unable to mount a vacum brake booster.I don't want non assited brakes when I do my disc brake swap. so decided to go with a hydro boost. I picked up a hydroboost off of a 1999 Astro( 99 and up has an angled mounting plate) and need a flat mounting plate . I decided to get one from John (Captainfab) I got my hydroboost mounting plate today. I expected a quality plate, and that's what I got. What I didn't expect was the hardware or super fast shipping that came with the order.( Thanks John!) I will most likley use the stock power steering hoses off of a 1985 diesel impala, or make my own. Now to do the ball joints and drop spindle / disc brake swap. I suffer from " Las Mananas" spanish for the tomorrows.I seem to keep putting things off ,especialy if it isn't broke. I still have a rear end to swap out, a billet dash , aluminum valvecover, stainless steal cooling hoses, v8 hood emblem and a chrome grill to install. Oh and I want to repaint my roof,and mount my Supream wheels. I NEED MORE TIME !!! The days are just to short , and my wallet to thin!

Re: Things to do
