Continuing the front clip overhaul:

- replaced the brake booster and master cylinder with a complete new kit from Inline Tube.
- removed and refurbished the wiper motor
- sandblasted the inner fenders and other various small brackets that hold the front sheet metal together and had them powdercoated in a low gloss black
- removed and refurbished the steering shaft assy with a new rag joint and fresh paint. This was interesting because the steering shaft in 73 has two plastic pins in it that act as the sheer joint for a collision. After taking the shaft apart I had to fashion replacement plastic pins when I put it back together.
