I was never happy with the brake pedal after the disc brake conversion (link in the first post of this thread.) I used aftermarket booster and master and never liked it. I wound up using OEM booster and master available at any local parts store.

Bobby, did you make the P2 Combo Valve bracket? I really like how that looks!

It was this bracket > https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaf-all41045
Turned out it was too close to the master cylinder and I had to add metal to space it farther down. I could have just mounted the valve under the bracket but it just looked better on top of the bracket.

I'm working on too many projects at one time again. I was working a lot of overtime this past month in the Palisades burn zone. Seems we're almost done there now. I haven't been driving my truck because I've got the driver side door all torn apart and no side mirrors. The mirrors are 69 Mustang mirrors. The original left door had a mud nest in it, too and was rusted on the inside. We got the replacement door painted and I'm trying to make custom door panels. It had Sport Custom panels, but the fiber board was all warped. I made some templates out of 3003 aluminum, now I've got to figure out what I'm going to cover them with. I have some ideas, bought some material, some sew-foam, some acrylic felt, some landau glue...
I've never done door panels before.

Scored some vinyl and some tweed. Still waiting on some sew-foam and some acrylic felt. Also, I bought some really nice NOS 1965 Mustang window cranks.
