Cris --

For the bleeder on the '55 car I'm doing == I used a AN tee... and just put an AN cap on the one leg... was easy - and I could locate it anywhere it needed to be.

Nice idea on the quick connect hookup!

I wonder if the GM "bubble" quick connect would hold the pressure for the clutch? They're running 60 psi on the fuel system -- and 100 on the LS9 motors but I don't know if the LS9 is running the same fuel connections as the other LSx's are... I have a hydraulic GM bubble flare tool ---- and I bought an aluminum polished quick connect to AN -8 (might have been a 6) Male from Street and Performance (if I remember right)...

Of course the clutch is using -4 or -3 so the -6 might be too large and or create other "connection" issues...

Great solution on the bleeder Greg!

The cool part about buying a motor & trans from Cleveland Parts is that you get everthing.. We got the brake/clutch pedals with the master cylinder & hoses.. We grabbed the hose that hooks up to the throw out bearing & dimensioned & machined exactly as the GM one.. so I don't see a problem with it holding the pressure per factory specs.. The only reason we made this fitting is because it nice to have the option for 90 or 45 deg fitting for the braided flex hose..

The last car we did we ordered the braided flex hose that Classic MTSP does in their conversions.. Worked great when plumbing the throw out bearing but we wanted options..

Tail Panel with Bumper
 

Here is the latest status on the bird.. We have rough finishes on the rear bumper with tail pipe openings.. We just finished the design on the tail pipe hangers & will have a pin to hold hangers with rubber o-rings to allow expansion of exhaust @ the rear.. When we machine these pcs I will post pic on how the concept works :D
