    Here is the latest photo,New headlights, exhaust scheduled for next week. Having issues with brakes. I am unable to bleed them no pressure builds up. I have checked for an open connection but I am able to hold 4 lbs pressure over 8 hours. When pumping the pedal I get air rushing out of the Vacuum canister, is this right?

    Flames

    Ken: you sure don't miss much do you, I am told from the painter there are flames he just won't tell me where or how big. My friend has a custom auto body business and painted them to be ghosted is the term he used. Other people have seen them but not me, I guess I am getting old. When I find them I will let you know. :p

    Baaaaaaaby!

    That's beautiful! The flames might be an "Emperor's New Clothes" gig- (?) What's the story with the headlights? Yellow on the bottom part of them? If I'm seeing that right- who makes them?? That really is an awesome looking ride! Keep us "posted" (with pictures)
    Thanks for your time doing that!

    Headlights

    I bought those headlights from Zigsstreetrods, they are halogen and the yellow in the bottom of the lights are turn signals. I had to drill a hole in the buckets to fit the wiring other than that they are drop in ready to go. Tons of light and no bullets on the fenders.

    Very nice project. Like the custom firewall. Keeps everything neat and clean. Keep us updated on finished. Best of luck on brake issue. I'm sure someone in here can help. Where is Nate?

    Canby52, could you clarify. Do you ever get a solid pedal? If so, does it slowly fade away? No leaks? The asist noise, air may be a different problem. The pedal is hydraulic pressure, and should hold pressure no matter what the booster is doing. If you do get a pedal, and it disappears over time, with no external fluid leaks, and no drop in resevoir fluid level, then the master cylinder may be internall bypassing. Let us now more info.....Mike
