Mike,
Did you leave the MC on the firewall or tuck it down on the frame? If it is still on the firewall, you can fill it with a turkey baster instead of directly out of the can. I bought a remote fill for mine that I probably wont use because of possible splatter. It will be mounted with the fill hose disappearing in the general direction of the MC and tie wrapped off. I do understand about a too expensive a paint job. Mine is not painted yet (April)and I already have $1000+ in materials plus a new $500 Iwata spray gun.

Dave,
I put the MC on the firewall for a couple of reasons.
1 - Had a Chevelle front clip put on and boxed the frame.
2 - Wanted a hanging pedal to better seal the floor.
3 - Wanted a power booster for the Wilwood calipers on the Jag rear and yet to be determined front calipers. I want Wilwood calipers there too but have not put out the $$ yet.

Attached is a picture of the booster without the MC.

Looks great - and a Ford in a Ford !! Way ta go

Why not consider Wilwoods all the way around, including a nice Wilwood aluminum MC. With the booster "hung" out there, you should not have a problem with drool out of the back of the MC.

I have 4 wheel Wilwoods on mine - polished in the front and black in the back (which I actually prefer), but with a 'vette MC.
