Plumbing on another 69
 

Hey all,

Got another 69 were plumbing and a little fab work for owner Dave Bragg out of Lancaster CA. Were doing complete systems for fuel,brake,a/c,radiator, and hydroboost. Here's a few shots before things get sent out for plating and polishing. After the car is done I'll post a couple more to show how things look done.

Couple more

Perfection as always!!!!!!:hail:

Couple of the A/C

Wow – great work! Can you fly into PA and do the plumbing on my car? :hail:

Fantastic as usual! Can you tell me what rear suspension is in that car? (who's that is?):cheers:

Good Idea, there's at least two cars for you to work on. :unibrow:

Very nice!! :bow:

Mark, perfect timing. Thanks for the pictures.

Not sure who's parts. But the triangulated set up was owner built and installed.

Hey I got it !!! Maybe you guys can get a two for one on a transporter and ship'em out to Cali.

I wish it were that simple.

Mark, I'm a lot closer!! :yes:

looks killer man :thumbsup: hard lines are the only way to go

:thumbsup: WOW, I love the way your mind works.

Makes me want to write bad checks!

Mark -- I notice you welded on some male fittings... I built some A/C lines out of SS - (bad idea by the way - all it did was AC the headers)... and I didn't think about welding them (TIG)... I braised them on with a special flux and SS filler... Have you ever done this? I'm asking only as a "plus or minus" type question - strength - ease - or?

I think you should do "classes" -- I'd sign up!

hell ya!! me too!!:yes:

Greg,

The A/C lines coming out of the condenser are silver soldered. That's the way they are designed to go together. Strength and ease? Couldn't be any easier.

I wish I could do classes too!!! I could charge up the yen yang like Ron Covell's metal classes and be a millionaire in no time. Then I can just build my own cars.:rofl:

Hey it would be cheaper to send your car here than those guys from PA.:woot:

Killer work as always, Mark. :cheers:

Very nice. Looks really good.:thumbsup:

very nice work

Good to know -- I was hoping that was the right thing to do... as it seemed to work well for me. However... I'm a DB!

I've learned to be "more careful" with the flux! Not letting it get on the tubing above the fitting makes a nicer polish job... :lol: It's the little things you learn along the way... :lol:

what kind of fuel line is that?

Mark hows the Cuda coming along?

The hard line is stainless steel 3/16 for the brakes and 1/2 & 5/8 for the fuel.

As soon as this Camaro is finished up were back on the Cuda. I need to get on it. Seems to me this is a popular car as of lately. Gotta get it done so I'm not dated.

Mark would you ever consider coming out with a "HOW TO'' book :question:

Nice work Mark.

What is the back tire and wheel size including the height of the tire?

Thanks.

Great work
 

always inspiring and makes me want to bent some hardline in place of the stuff i have.

Those rims look like the new ones from Forgeline? Next time you are around that car could you post up a side shot and a close up of the wheel.

Not that you have anything else to do. LOL

Plumbing
 

Show off!

The rear tire is a Viper tire 345/30/19. I will have to ask the owner on the rim and size. He owns a rim and tire shop out in Lancaster.

Funny you ask someone else asked the same question that day. I would love to just need more time. Yaaa more time.



Thanks will do when I get a chance.

Table full of stuff !!!!
 

Thought you guys would get a kick at what this stuff looks like out of the car before paint and plate. It never looks like this much when it's in the car either. And one naked shot of the engine bay with everything out.

List of what's on the table :

1: fuel system with return line
2: brake system
3: hydroboost system
4: a/c system
5: water lines
a) heater
b) radiator
6: breather system
7: clutch and radiator over flow lines
8: all hoses for each system
9 : all necessary custom brackets and hardware
10 : I think I got it covered ?

Nice work. But that does not look like any fun at all to put back together.:D

I can't even do paint by numbers....


:hail: :hail: :rofl:

You do very nice work that is for sure,Bet you have a better tube bender than mine..lol :lol: What is the bike on the table in background?

It's simple. Every line has a dedicated spot. It's just a matter of finding that spot again :willy:

Thanks Tracey. It's great getting a compliment from another craftsman. If I had to do an interior I would get so pissed off rubbing to peace's of fabric together it would probably start a fire.:fire:

I hope to get that super car build one day so I can send it to you. Oh I bet you I have the same bender too !!!

That's my bike that I have'nt touched in about two years.

Putting it together and stepping back and enjoying the fruits of your labor is the fun part. Lot's a bread laying on that table!

You nailed that one square on the head. Thanks :woot:

Here's a few updates. Things are looking pretty cool after the plater,polisher,and coater. Still trying to finish up the car. We endded up instaling a full cage also. Being a painted car that's been a little tedius and time cunsuming I'll post some pics of the cage when it's done. Also we got one of the center consoles from the Roadster Shop. We could have made it but at the moment it was just easier to order it. Besides I wanted to check out the Roadster Shops work (good job Phil) Thanks!!! Enjoy
