Not that there’s anything wrong with that...

Default Inner Fenders Back on (( 07-12-20 ))

Once again the inner fenders are going back on.



I am looking for area's that need to be trimmed for better clearance



Yet another while I am here moment. These two relays are for the Vintage air and before they were sitting on the top of
the unit. By mounting them I will be able to access them if there is ever an issue.



So I glued in a couple more Weld-Studs as this will be their new home.



Next up is finding a replacement for the fitting on the compressor.



So it's off to Midwest Hot Rods to see what they have in stock

Default Shortened Driveshaft is back (07-14-20)

07-14-20 I dropped my driveshaft at Village Auto and they took care of shortening it for me.





07-18-20 Time to start working on the brake lines and let me tell you I haven't bent lines in years so I asked Mike if he would come
over to assist me. I also picked up the Flaring tool from Eastwood hoping it would make my life easier.



I pick up some steel lines from my local Napa and maybe one day I will convert these to Stainless Steel.



Best 2nd Gen investment ever would be the DSE Brake Booster with the Kore3 brakes.



Here we go.





Love this tool.

NiCopp is a great material for brake lines, Mercedes, BMW use it as oem, much easier to bend and flare than stainless but won’t rust or corrode like the steel lines

Be careful bending 3/8 for fuel line, it will collapse if bent too tight
