Took the first ride in her last night with '63 F85 Cutlass' just around the house and into the driveway. We installed the optional DeLux Beach Chairs insted of the front bench seat for the occasion. Still working on the brakes, had to do some cutting to get the '72 Cuda master cylinder to fit. I'm going to start running the new brake lines later today.

Heres some more pictures. I mounted the new battery in the trunk because there wasn't really enough room under the hood for it. Fabricated the aluminum battery mount thanks to the shop at school. The 'creative' or 'one of a kind' brake system is in and working with the '72 Cuda dual master cylinder. The electrical system is all set now after the generator to alternator swap. I patched the leaky weatherstripping because I can't afford new yet. The floors are now 100% after making a lot of sheetmetal patches, primer, primer, more primer, and a decent coat of rubberized undercoat. There's just a little more smoothing out to do with the body work before the final coat of primer and satin black. The wheels will get referbished soon, and ther interior can go back in. Then the single exhaust can go back on for inspection amd registration before the two pipes can go on that will dump behind the front wheels.
