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.

Amazing work Mark!! Do you have any pics of how you connected the brake line along along the rear housing to the lines along the frame rail? I think I know how you have it plumbed from the photos you have, but hoping to see one with the braided line connected. Also, what brand of fittings are you using? Thanks.

Not sure why they all disappeared?

I think these are the pics we were talking about. The final shots on the rear fire wall and package tray.

Any other pics you want to see. Just let me know?

I was told....whatever pic hosting site you use to link your pics to this site, the user usually changes something like his settings on the hosting site. Then the change will lose all links. I know the old Photobucket would prompt you and tell you that doing "this" (whatever the change) will erase all pics that have been linked. I don't know wht the new, piece of $h!t Photobucket will do...I hate it.

Thanks Mark, the work you do is incredible!

Im in the process of doing all stainless lines in my 69 Camaro (Ever since I saw the work you did on the F-Bomb, I wanted to do the same!) and was interested to see how you did it on this '69? I Hate to be a PITA, but any chance you would post up the pics again?

Cheers,

Steve...

Thanks Mark that means a lot coming from you. There are a couple shop in California that I would love to work with and you are definitely one of them.

Maybe on version 4 of my car when we go for Street Machine of the year I will fly you out to Kenny's for a week. Trust me it's never a dull moment in Arkansas.

Hey man, if you want a pat on the back...Ya have to give them out as well...


Didn't we talk about all this flying out business before? It's cheaper for you to send the car. Street Machine of The Year equals :G-Dub:

Besides Kenny dos'nt haven't anything better to do and from the looks of his tow rig it would work to your benifit.:lmao:

Heck! I would even let Kenny and you spend the night at my house

:thankyou: Al!

I've always enjoyed hiding the plumbing. I try and make the motors look like they don't run. Let the motor do the talking not all the crap around it. Because when you do see it ,it pulls you in for more. Also when you stand back and look at this particular motor. All you see is polish not realizing this 900+HP motor has power steering,A/C,heat,power brakes,and a vacuum pump. Would you have noticed all that if wasn't pointed out?

Keeping it simple is always the hardest to pull off.

your work inspires me to try harder. After my last build I will never use another inverted flare nut on my brake lines.

Lover your work.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE Mark!

Definatly something to aspire to mate!

What size fuel supply line are you using? I had to go with 5/8", but couldnt get a bender to do it so I had to make my own... 5/8: on a 3" radius, works a treat.

Thanks again man!:thumbsup:

Steve...

Thanks! That's where most of the time go's. It's not really the bending it's pulling a line in and out 10-15 times that's not fun. Just to hide it all. Go figure!
