Thank you. I left the master connected, and moved it slightly forward.

Is that a ...309 master cylinder? All the ones I’ve taken off 77 & 78’s do not have provisions for bleeders.

Car looks great! I have been doing work in the garage and mine has about an inch of dust on it. I really need to get it cleaned up.

You and me, both!!!

Good eye. It was the only NOS Delco unit I could locate that wasn't over $400. That one is correct for 1974-76 cars if I recall. It's a CS. It's good enough for this build, and more correct than the current Inline Tube non bleeder master.

While we are on the topic, there is a flat green assembly line paint daub on all of these boosters, whether it be on an F or A body. I used Testors 1164 flat green on my Can Am, and it matched my original daub, as with the one on my Trans Am. Here is John Witzke's 11,300 mile Trans Am for reference:

My correction, the master cylinder would have been 5470409. I had the first gen mc on my mind.

I was able to obtain an NOS 10002472 shaker seal, and get it installed. I transferred the round soft rubber insert from the original seal into this one after making a long rod from an old dipstick and antenna. This is the original early part number before the version with the nylon pins.



Next is the hood decal!

Happy 6/6

Another show in the books. Awesome weather, and one of the songs played on speakers was East Bound and Down.. It was a good night. Car ran fantastic.

Finally, the Phoenix Graphix sourced hood bird is on. I could not find a local shop willing to do it, so I did it myself with the assistance of YouTube. With the liquid solution, it went on ok. Had a few bubbles to massage out of it, but it turned out satisfactory.

Looks great! I finished my '76 last month too, If you want to swap the leftover grille surround and shaker opening trim, I'd be interested. The kits come with extras depending on year. So I have an extra set of '77-'78. Assuming you may still have the extra '76 ones? I also have the two extra '400' graphics for the shaker as I had the 455 ones if anyone needs those.

Thank you. I bought just the hood bird, so I do not have any of the extra decals.

Yes, and that did the trick. I am still amazed that they were able to install these rapidly at the factory and have them come out well.

At my employer's recent internal car show, my car won judges choice. A lot of people just loved the car. This car won over McLarens, Ferarri's, and a mint 1967 435hp Vette.

and so.....it SHOULD have...

[77 TRASHCAN]

Congrats on winning!!!

A former co-worker of mine (he moved off to Florida, may be retired, he's about 80...) has a 72 Ferrari Dino. He put it in a couple of local car shows a few years ago. Nobody knew what it was, nobody. I used to razz him once in a while, ask him about his Karmen Ghia kit car....he doesn't take stuff seriously, but never liked me saying those words...

Well, I was able to attend my favorite local event, which is the Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealers annual cruise in. This year drew well over 300 vehicles.





My stepdaughter and my best friend's son played Lil' Bandit and Frog.

Thank you, Kerry and Trashcan.

Finally located one that wasn't $250 and missing the foam outer element!

That is a great pic. Do you have someone chase you around town for the day driving the sheriffs car?
