Power brake conversion
I am swapping over my manual brakes over to power brakes on my 71 C3.
I am in the middle of a body off restoration. Does any one have a recommendation for a chrome booster and reservoir. What size brake lines should I install? I plan on going back with stainless lines. As you may guess I am not keeping the car original. I plan on driving and enjoying it.

Since you're not after originality, then it's best to consider a hydroboost instead of the stock vacuum booster, I did that swap in my '71 and now I can say it has the best brake response of any care I've ever driven.
