Thanks for the come back,
 The car had a 455 olds engine in it frost plugs and rad froze up . Some people just don't care. Rebuilt the rad and going to start engine to see if it's worth keeping then pull it.   then the  the body gets  done.  it's been a while since I seen a Master cylinder on the frame or took on this kind of project. I have some pictures of this new edventure and will send them along in the future when I down load. Right now need a front grill.
I think this is a great web site.
Later Tom.
