I don't envy all of the work you're doing, but it looks great!
I have to ask, why power brakes?

Re: '66 Malibu N/SA
 

Why power brakes?

#1 - because they're there already.
#2 - because I'm not sure I can hold the car on the line without a trans brake otherwise.

Both mostly because of #1 combined with the fact that I've already exceeded my budget and I haven't finished the rest of the project yet. :)

Dave you dont need power brakes to hold, just good ones. Mine holds at 4200 on a two step with manual brakes(mopar style cylinder).

Also for the record Dave's Car is NOT the car running at the Division 4 race in Baytown this weekend! MINE is! LOL
Dave your build has gotten alot of attention and I have been asked at least a dozen times "Is this the car from class racer?" "How did you finish it so fast!?"
Mine is Pictured below and they are VERY different. Thanks for understanding.

Somehow I missed this post!

Your car looks great! But given that it's a different color and an SS, I'm a little surprised that people would have that confusion.

And I'm a little surprised that so many people are paying attention to the build. But I guess I shouldn't be, given the "views" count.

Looks good!

I avoided runs pretty well, but at the cost of the paint being too thin in some areas.

I think I will re-paint some very small areas soon to fix the worst of my mistakes.

Since this post did nothing except mention a Kirkey seat's arrival, and I can't find the picture that was posted (not even on Photobucket) I just deleted it all.
