    Nice new front brake lines... :popcrn:

  When fitting the new brake lines, I see that the new Master Power disc brakes kit has the proportioning valve right under the master cylinder, but the factory disc brake cars had those valves down by the frame...So, do I buy the new factory style proportioning valves? Or just hook up the non stock style Master Power brakes valve? What do you guys think?

   I better think about this, I'm guessing the factory brake safety valve goes back on the frame (for both drum & disc), but the Master Power brake proportioning valve has an elec. connection.

random question -   what paint did you use for the Road Runner ?  and what is the color ?  B5 blue I assume but what is the paint code from the manufacturer ?    :shruggy:

  The good stuff, PPG Metallic B-5 blue (2 stage, I believe), somebody has the link to the '70 paint charts, they'll post it when they read this.

  And all you brake experts, if you've been following the proportioning valve discussion, check this out. I'm mounting the valve down on the frame, but I'm wondering about the 2" headers, & if the heat will affect it?. Whatta ya think?

   All of the back bumper brackets & lights are on, even a new licence plate light lense. :popcrn:

    So next we bolted the beautiful new chrome back bumper on the Roadrunner, here's a few pics. :popcrn:

  Here's the latest eye candy. The front headlight & radiator support area has the factory style flat black paint job. :popcrn:

   Of course pressing in the new headlight hardware was fun. :RantExplode: Anyway much later, here's the headlights in. :popcrn:

  A shiny new Chrysler pin, not the stick on kind, the old pin style. :popcrn:

  I like the P.G. classic front fender trim pieces for '70 Roadrunners, they fit good. :popcrn:
