More of the same lately.  This is some of the fun stuff...taking pieces that are completely rusted and cleaning them up and painting them.  Most of the things I've been working on the last few days are turning out nearly good enough to pass as new.  I got the master cylinders and their bracket and cover out, cleaned up, and primed.  I'm working on taking out the obvious rust pits by applying several coats of primer and sanding between coats.  They're really going to look nice.

Here's the master cylinders before removing from the car.

Here's a shot of the master cylinders after unbolting the mounting bracket.

Another shot of the same.

Here's the master cylinder mounting bracket after removing it from the vehicle and removing the master cylinders.  Quite a mess, huh?  But I was able to remove almost all the rust and think it's going to turn out looking great.

Another shot of the same.

Just a shot of one end of the brake line from the master cylinder to the union on the passenger's side.  It's coated with the same "gunk" that was on the windshield washer bottle bracket.  I'll clean it up, then decide if I should replace it.

A shot of the other end of the same.

Here's the brake and clutch pedals...they're completely covered with rust.
