Last few nights I've been stripping all the parts off the old frame and trying to sell/giveaway as much as I can from it before I chop it up.
Yesterday I bought a new booster and master cylinder, I decided I wanted a plastic reservoir from the 85+. Mine has always leaked through the lid which has ate all the paint below
Also picked up a few more brake lines and a Wilwood proportioning valve with a built in brake light switch.

That's nice.
I think I'm one of the few that run 52's front and rear
Hey, only need to carry 1 spring to replace any that break!
I think the Kaiser that Ian Johnson built last season is on Chevy 52s front and rear
Exactly! I just carry one main leaf as a spare
Do you guys think I can burn these 1/2" npt steel plugs with a mig? I was going to find someone with a TIG and have them do it but I'd rather do it myself if I can.
and I'll media blast them first....

Bubble gum...
I really don't know. My stuff is bought, not built.

Yeah I wouldn't know either. I have stainless shiny things that aim the wrong direction
to clarify, those plugs aren't stainless.

Hell yeah. Those are cast steel manifolds yeah? I'd welder up.
no they're not cast, they appear to be some sort of steel tube, like headers but thicker material.
Should be able to. But if the plug is in there, why weld it?

Ah yeah I can see it now. Weld that thing up!

Cuz I'll take them out when he's not looking. Lol
It's some oddball thread type and plugs aren't readily available from what I've gathered. I/2" NPT screw in (loosely) but they'll leak if they're not welded.
I'll see if I can turn down the wire speed and keep it slow moving.
Yeah I just ran one through the blast cabinet
