or...maybe some strange desire to not put it back on the road just yet? Only takes one uninsured low life....Z is looking so pretty on the lift! Just as soon put the booster in the curio cabinet...but my wife probably would frown on it!

As I recall, Whitepost price for the booster was considerably higher than what BrakeBoosters charges...

 I would also recommend to have the following done too if you are going to send in items for a dichromate (at least on my '67 they were) restoration:

*Booster
*M/C cover (if not too pitted) - or get an exact repro from a Corvette reproduction house
*Disc brake caliper mounting brackets
*Hold off valve mounting bracket
