Well, sadly it appears my 200 Deluxe will not be making it to Austin, TX for the Lonestar Roundup. After contacting MPB, and sending photos of the master cylinder and power booster, it appears I was sent a booster with too long of a pushrod. Now doesn't that figure, months of work bringing a car back to life that was sitting for 41 years, everything looking like it is ready to go, and something as simple as a pushrod that is too long is keeping this car from going. I didn't expect a 60 year old engine to fire right up; it did. I expected a completely brand new brake system to work; it didn't.

There is a bright side to this though. The problem with me not being able to bleed the brakes wasn't my fault. And I know, had it not been for that, I would have made the show.
