Proportioning valve if it works is handy thing to have

even with 9 inch brakes on the back it took the aussies until 1971 to fit one and then only on track pack cars
you certainly notice the difference

That’s very nice, un corroded old cars are are hens teeth !
One of the main reasons I like the TA,
I actually regret doing the full Monty now,
I should have got it running ok, then driving ok and just used it ,
A tatty hood and slightly ragged quarters wouldn’t have made any difference to the way it drove !

Done the same on every Mopar I’ve ever owned and a couple more I didn’t. Just don’t feel like I’m doing a proper job if I don’t do it.

How’s it looking now you can see what’s under there?
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not…

Moved the blue car up to studio A to make and install frame connectors to stiffen things up a bit. Nice to see the floors are in good shape with only 2 small repairs done properly.
