beautiful work!

If you are going for "factory built" the master cylinder and cover should be painted gloss black.

Hey Lee thanks. On a 1969 drum brake car the cover is yellow zinc and the body is cast natural. On a 1969 disc brake car everything including booster is painted black

Thanks guys....appreciate it..

I am trying to put the car back to OEM specs. If anyone sees anything incorrect please let me know. All comments are welcome. This is my first Mopar Resto so a slow go to say the least. A12 Pilot has been a ton of help thus far. Thanks Dave!

Looks beautiful. The only problem area I see is the red paint on the shock absorber bushings on the inner fenders. Need to be natural black rubber with the large cad-plated washer on top.

Thanks Steve. I failed to mention that I had that on my list to correct. Thanks for pointing that out. Please let me know of any other issues as I post more pics.

Looks great! I think the red paint should cover all of the face of the drum including the lug nut area where the wheel mounts. On my previous Mopars, that was actually the only place where the red would still remain after a few decades as it was protected from the elements by the wheel face. The cosmoline they used for dipping the lower controls arms in, was a much heavier molasses-ier (if that's actually a word) looking substance. I used spray-on amber rustproofing when I used to do mine. I had to do many coats to get the caramel brown finish correctly.

This stuff is good: https://www.tat-co.com/Products/Repa...r-Rustproofing
