I think the sorta blend over with the color would look nice. This is coming along nicely.

Got some color on the firewall, looks like it needs to be wet sanded AGAIN...and buffed...but thats how it goes. A lot of time fixing a quarter panel flub by a local body shop, made some rear seat close out panels, Lizard skin the interior, installed and removed A/C, built glove box panel to hold the MSD box and coil....Installed the rear end,mostly working on sanding jams and interior metal to get ready for paint....not much to see..but an update.

What is the benefit of two masters for the brakes vs one?

Nice project.

Two masters....nothing huge on the street, more so if your racing and the track your on requires a bit more or less bite on the rear or front binders. Inside the cab where the pedals mount there is an adjuster between the two masters front/rear, both connect to one brake pedal. On demand, the adjuster (remote cable in cab) allows you to dial in more bite on brakes front or rear. It helps too if the fronts are starting to fade, just dial in a bit more on the rears.

Again no major advantage on a street car, but the option is there if you need it, which is nice. Plus I think it looks cleaner then having a booster, and it doesnt take THAT much more leg strength to drive/stop the car.

Hope that helps
