    Looks sweet! I'm excited to see how that cantilever clutch rod setup works. (y)

    Thank you my friends! :thumbs2:
    on Monday I'll take more pictures of the clutch ..

    the assembly and adjustments will be very meticulous from now .. we already removed the engine and put back at least 8x
    Now is definitely installed!
    will take some time, but now I have no more hurry ... It must be perfect! :thumbs2:

    Me too. If I'm lookng at it correctly it should reduce pedal effort a little.

    Today we finished installing the clutch!:bananaman:bananaman
    I'm using a centerforce clutch which is pretty tough and say that it was good.
    As hard as my f250 ;)

    thanks man!
    I do not want it to look "original" ... I also did not want an "Eleanor" style, or "billet" front grill .. here in Brazil mavericks are almost equal! same grill, same eleanor tail lights ... etc. ..
    I prefer to take risks and do things differently .. I really hope it gets good! I hope! :thumbs2:

    John,the hinges are made here in brazil..you can contact member Douglas from PerformanceV8..or in facebook..(y)

    love the color. is that master cylinder powder coated? if so have you got any brake fluid on it yet? I know brake fluid does a nasty number on paint.

    looks sharp I did similar with my engine. only thing is its hard to keep clean and shows dirt more than before it was powder coated but sure is purdy
