Compare the old MC to the new one and see if the piston locations in the back are the same. Is this a conversion kit you are installing by any chance? Like I said, something is amiss. Obviously right?.

Is the booster to master cylinder rod the correct length? Try loosening the MC from the booster and see if you get any pedal play. If it's rock hard like you say something is askew between the pedal and MC. Your description sounds like the MC piston is being buried.

Metal interior parts were not gloss but the dash top was flat suede. PPG 9266 or SEM Trim Black #39143 can be used except on the dash top. For the top  you can have your supplier mix it, use Krylon's finer textured paint or buy it fron CHP (Jerry M. has it). Some guys use Rustoleum 7777 for the semi-gloss. SEM lays down nice but is costly.

Quoting John Z:

"The black dip-primed hood, fenders, and header panel were mounted on a conveyor buck in car position with about a 1" gap between the panels when they were sprayed with body color; the outer edges of the vertical weld flange on the hood got full coverage, but very little or no body color normally showed on the inboard side of the hood flange."

Your're missing the tab that contacts the switch.

Thanks. So I suppose editing a grammatical error is not an option. I make them in my haste and is a pet pieve I have.

I can't say for certain if the bow is limited to the sides - but if I assume that it is - what is the process to correct it?

Rocky

I've had to do 2 of these before. Block the front and the back corners and jack down the side in the middle.( These were bowed on the sides wrong, same principal applies to incorrect front bows ). Obviously put a wood block beween the jack and the side/top of the hood. I don't know what equipment availablity you have. I used the lift arm as an overhead bottle jack or porta-power station; whichever weapon of choice you prefer. Gently please. Piece of cake really.

I'm tearing this apart but you can see where the e-brake passes through and the mounting clip.

My misinformation on the fastening of the clip. As RP stated it's goes on the FW. near the e-brake cable. I'll pass on the pistol whipping as my punishment.

I have 2 of them and yes it's an origional part. The skirt is still attached to mine but I have to dig it out to get a pic. Another member may have one on file. There's also a clip that attaches to part of the skirt which then attaches to the fender. Those brackets and flaps often get tossed over the years.
