The lines turned out well.  Nice clean install.

(PS....if you're not using the column shifter...remove it from the column;))

Dave,

Turned out nice and clean.
What do you have for brakes in the rear?
How is the pedal effort and feel with the Cobra booster & master cylinder?

i like it. the SS hard line looks nice!

one bit of advise; take the hose clamp you have securing the right front line to the k-member and slip a piece of heat shrink over it.
open the clamp, slip the heat shrink on it just like you would a piece of wire, shrink it, then reattach your clamp. this will help prevent the clamp from diggin into both your brake line and the powdercoated finish of you k-member.

What are the engine bay and wheel wells covered with?

I removed the actual shifter from the steering column. I couldn't figure out how to get that linkage out from the engine well though without a great deal of trouble. That's why I left it.

Roll-on Herculiner.  I stripped everything down to bare metal or almost bare metal with brake cleaner and a wire wheel.  Then everything gets 2 coats of Por-15 and 2 coats of Herculiner.  Kinda forms a thick, indestructable coating that lasts forever and you don't have to worry about scratching or chipping it...EVER.  It's not as clean looking as a nice paint job, but holds up great.

Did you have to 'modify' the strut tower to get that booster in?  I had the same unit when I did my brake setup and it looked to big to fit; that and I heard from other people it wouldn't fit without beating the strut tower.

edit: from what I can tell you didn't, but still thought i'd ask...
