Mark,

Nice tube work on the Camaro..... if that's what you are into.

.... and Tracy, I've see that untouched bike in-person. I tried to get him to work on it, but he is too busy bending tubing on cars.

Glad to see someone else has discovered the banjo fittings for the Wilwood master cylinder! They make those lines so much easier / neater to do....

I look at all these hi zoot builds (at SEMA etc) and never see them in use.

Great looking work as usual Mark!!

Thanks !! The secret is a good clean flare. Square cut and filled smooth. No burrs, no crap on the surface of the flare seat, and a good uniform flare. Is your tubing seamless? Some times just the littlest amount of crap on the seat will make you want to rip your hair out. So make shure it's clean !!

And when all else fails to seal the leak -- because you're a lousy plumber.... You can buy these.

Good to know! I'd rather get them from you than them! Do you also stock the banjos in SS for the Wilwood master??

Sorry - I won't spill any more secrets!

Now your speaking my language. Thanks Greg


I do have all the goods for plumbing. If I don't stock it or am a dealer for it I'm 99% sure I know where to get it.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Keeps me motivated do better each time around.

Mark

bentfab 02-05-2010 09:34 AM

Here's a few more updates of the plumbing. The one I like the most is the engine bay shot. Keep in mind this car has power steering, A/C & Heater, Hydroboost, and a return style fuel system. Trust me it's all there.:willy:

bentfab 02-05-2010 09:42 AM

Here's a few shots of the cage in progress. A couple before and after on the dash. The side shot is the best. When the back windows are rolled up you can't see any of the cage from the side.

bentfab 02-05-2010 09:45 AM

Last but not least. A few in progress shots of the center console. We hope Phill at the roadster Shop dosen't get to mad at what's let of there center console. Thanks for a good foundation Phill.

Vegas69 02-05-2010 09:46 AM

Outstanding work man. Where do you find the black line hose clamps? Powdercoating them? I'm redoing a few things under my hood. :unibrow: If that's a ricks tank, I'd bet you lunch that vent setup is going to piss all over anywhere close to full tank.

The clamps are anodized Billet specialties. We stock all the sizes if you need some. There polish is perfect for anodizing.

The tank isn't Ricks. I think it's Rock Valley. I made my own breather system. I welded S.S. fittings on the tank w/ about a 150 degree bend of tube on the inside of the tank and then baloni cut it so it's about a 1/4 inch from the top. It also has a little vent tube at the filler neck. Hope it works :_paranoid

Can I borrow your tube bender??? :rofl: Great work!!

Couple of updates. The cage is pretty much wrapped up. Just need to finish welding it in. The center console needs a couple more tid bits before it's finished up. We mounted the ISIS master cell in the middle under a hidden compartment to make tunning abit simpler.

Cris@JCG 02-26-2010 08:45 AM

I guess it looks OK.. :rofl: :thumbsup:

You should know? Being a shop owner and wanting everything perfect comes with the territory. I got lucky with the plumbing. I worked at a hose and fitting shop out of high school and started doing side jobs. One thing led to another and now I have a shop named Bent. Butttttt in the middle of all that I love building cars. I figured if I have the patience for plumbing I might have enough left for some tin work cages and everything else in between. To put it simple I take great pride in what I do.

I wish it was a Yoder!! It was a Metal Craft power hammer I sold it last summer though. One of these days I'll get a Yoder or Pettingel.
