Rear brakes are hung! The E-brake arm will reposition forward once I hook the cables up in front.

Looks good, when do you start it up?

It runs. I need to fine tune the motor, but it runs.....

nice. are you running the stock small nut trans, or big nut? I may have asked before. I'm having issues hooking up my parking brake because small nut crash box bus, with a big nut trans. they don't make cables for that, mine are BS'd with some clamps to connect a 50's front cable with a 64-67 rear cable and it just seems like a bad idea to me

'67 big nut rear end.

They don't make ebrake cables for this set up. You have to modify something. I am using 65-67 cables and I an going to shorten them up front using a cable shortening kit. Like you would for a Manx buggy. I am going to solder the wire before I assemble it and then after I tighten the set screw I will solder the 2 connections together for a little more strength. Idealy you would swedge on new ends, but I haven't had time to find a cable company that can do it.
