Yesterday was one of those non productive days where you work all day but seem to have little to show for it !!!
It was raining first thing so decided to clean up the front brake back plates, they are original 56 F100 so had a fair bit of pitting on them, i had them blasted and then sanded them fairly smooth, then epoxy primed, hi build primed and then shot them in Black, they came out pretty good.

It has stopped raining so next up was to see how the master cylinder and brake pedal was gonna fit now I had the column in, straightaway I had a slight issue with the brake pedal fouling the column on half stroke, I had 2 solutions and the first was to put a crank in the pedal or move the pedal onto the outside of the pedal bracket, the first was a bit tricky as the pedal is made like an I beam so I decided to move the pedal to the outside of the bracket.
Once this was done I drilled the master cylinder mounting holes, the firewall is 1/2" thick at this point but I put in a strengthning plate at the rear inside the firewall.
Not much for 8 hrs work but its still progress.
