Thanks everyone for the positive feedbackBig Grin

The Scarebird kit was great!! Very easy to install. The only thing I could say is that the kit came with a list of parts needed. I shopped around and the brake rotors were cheaper at autozone, so I bought them there. But when installing them they did not clear the hubs. I brought the hubs down to napa and their rotor fit over perfectly. So I bought rotors there and returned other ones. That what I get for trying to save a couple bucks....

I did remove the ram on the hood. My car was originally a 6 cylinder. And since it now has a V8 I wanted to used the Hemi V8 hood emblem. I like the look better Wink Thanks again for positive feedback and I will keep posting....

I have used the Scarebird kit on my '49. In researching the kit, I learned that Scarebird did all of their mockups with NAPA parts.

Mirage... Are you using the stock master cylinder? If so are you happy with the stock one? I ask because I thought about using a on frame universal master cylinder, but I think it the trans cross-member will be in the way. So I'm thinking stay with stock master???

Definitely don't want to use stock master I would think. Even if not power, manual dual pot will work fine for a cruiser .

My two cents
