Default Small Victory!!- Brake Lines

I have to say that I was kind of dreading making brake lines to fit the dual bowl m/c and proprtioning valve (or combo valve, or what ever you people want to call it). It came out really well, I think. I purchased one of those pipe bending tools from NAPA (the one that's around $35) and it worked beautifully! I purchased the lines from NAPA also, and I polished them out for a nice shine.

Now on to the next project. . . finding a M/C pushrod and finishing the suspension.

Nice job!...doesn't it feel great to do these modifications yourself? Now you're car will be safer than when it came from the factory.

Looks like Grab-A-Track and rollet perches? Nice! Clean looking engine bay and brake line working too.

btw, HOLEY HELL, think your rear tires are wide enough?

oh yeah, that's my Dad's car. Unfortunately, he suffered a stroke while backing his daily driver in the driveway and put that car through the garage and almost through the Mustang you see there. We've been slowly putting it back together- he's been hard to work with as his condition has left him incredibly depressed. Anyhow, it's too saddening to post the images of it's current state.
