	That is where you need to click on "library" near the top left of the page. It's about two inches from the top of the page. Click that and you'll be shown the pictures you've uploaded.

	Dan, if you read this I will call you tomorrow, 2/9. We removed some things on the firewall today. We cleaned a lot of parts, Electric wiper motor and linkage from a donor car. Removed the back window with rubber in one piece. Fabricated some metal parts, removed the wrag joint from the steering box. Measured for Subframe Connectors to eliminate body twist. Thanks, ted

	Hi Ted, what brake booster and master cylinder are you using? You said you were test fitting one. Thank Mitch

	Hi Mitch. I am not sure. My son n law orders the parts and they arrive at my house. I was looking through the receipts and I didn't see that one. I will email him and ask where he got it. They both fit in great. We are going to cut off the studs from the firewall and knock out the studs. Then we are going to use new bolts and reverse them from the firewall to the drivers compartment. That way they will be a lot easier to get the nuts on and tighten them up. I will let you know when I find out. Thanks, ted

	Hi Mitch. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I copied what my son n law wrote about the master cylinder/booster. It's the regular drum power booster / master setup for a 66'' American. Had all the brackets from the donor car, rock auto had the parts in stock. But we had to have the stock brackets and lever setup. We're going to have to pull the 10 lb residuals and swap with 2 lb. For disc use. Won't have the stomp of a dual bladder booster, but will be better than manual. And with 4 wheel disc on this car, it should stop fairly easily. He also sent us 2psi residuals valves to swap out and a proportioning valve to install in line. I hope this helps. Thanks, ted

	Hello, today Ken did some more welding and grinding on the cross members and I spent the day cleaning parts. I tested the wiper motor and heater blower motor from a donor car. They both work. We are thinking about making a cover for the wiper motor so the wires won't be exposed and it will look a little cleaner. Thanks, ted http://s1055.photobucket.com/user/jented1/library/

	Hello. We have been doing a lot of cleaning; sanding; and grinding on the floor boards to clean up the rust and dirt. We will have to make 2 patch panels, on the passenger side. We removed 5 bolts on the passenger door [ 2 in the front and 3 in the rear jamb ] and removed the top of the door. This way we can weld the break in the frame right where it meets the rear of the door. While we have it out we can also sand; prime; and paint it. I also cleaned up the windshield jambs. Thanks, ted http://s1055.photobucket.com/user/jented1/library/?sort=3&page=1 my photbucket link for Ted and Ken’s pictures on Hannah’s car restoration and Ken’s shop and projects.

	Hello everybody. I wanted to answer a reply that referred to the clearance on the radiator since we moved the motor forward about 1 1/2 ". We are installing a new radiator from Eastwood. It's a tri flow alum. radiator that we can move forward a little if we need to. The position of the heads to the firewall was so close before that's why we moved the engine forward a little. We made plates out of 1/4" steel and welded them to the brackets for the motor mounts to sit on. The engine with the Novak adapter plate and transmission shell drops in alot easier now also. We did about 10 or more mock up fittings until we settled on the position of the placement. We are also installing alot of alum. parts up front also to reduce weight. Only time well tell if everything works out correctly. Thanks, ted
