    Projected 4 wheels back on ground next sunday or sooner. New alternator will be the last thing. After 2 days of stalling on the break lines because I kept scaring myself............... 2 fronts are routed to their locations. Final strapping of the lines will happen when all 4 are done. I love this flaring tool, flaring the copper/nickle line is a joke almost like play dough.

    Flare, this is step one bubble flare, step 2 produced the double flare.

    This is how I mounted the flare to the vise and vise to the ground haha. 2 6" bolts inbetween, secure enough for this manly man.

    Walla your double.

    Walla a bubble flare, this goes to the flex line to the calipers.

    The 4 lines going to the abs looked great, so I decided to keep the oem flex line and flared that end into a threaded coupling.

    Flared again into the new line and walla

    Completed front driver side. I did the easy one first

    Nice job on the brake lines. That's how I'm gonna do mine, the whole line and unions only.

    Did you re-use the old proportioning valves?

    Yup I reused them. The front of the valve takes a bigger fitting, but the backs take the same as the hardline to caliper flex line. Ill post those sizes eventually.

    going into the valve I think its M12x1.0 bubble thread.
    out of valve and all hard line to flex line is m10x1.0 bubble

    Threaded coupling (union) is a 3/16 line 3/8-24 inverted (double flare aka standard flare)
    nuts that go into union 3/16 3/8-24 inverted

    nicopp line seriously bends like a joke and flares even better. Bought 2 rolls and have maybe 10 feet left. One roll (25ft) will do both fronts and driver rear. passenger rear is one hella length

    It looks a little strange that he used yellow, but hey, who looks under there? If it's effective, it was worth it. I just used standard rubberized undercoating.

    we talked about the finishing, he said he was going to use a airasole can set up to re spray where the brush cant hit. so jack stands spots should be covered.

    scott actually listened to me haha.

    I used boiled linseed oil as its natures rust protectant, rustoleum OIL paint ( because linseed oil is.... oil, and for color) and turpentine to thin them. (and dry faster, more you thin the faster is dries) This coating stays "wet" for a few days as to let the linseed oil soak into the rust and metal getting deep down protecting it. Today the finish is sticky and still very transferable, can really smell the linseed oil now.

    Yellow? To me thats the most visual other than white. It will let me gauge how its doing, where it gets thin etc etc. If it ever needs to be applied again all I have to do is mix up a batch and reapply. $25 of supplies and I used about $10 worth, undercoating dont get much cheaper unless you just buy a quart of linseed oil and throw it on.

    GMPP kit is on after 1.5years+ of having it. New alternator and finally replaced the windshield washer pump that never worked when I first bought the car years ago. Tmw exhaust is being thrown on and pending on the weather, wheels may be on the ground. If not then you dam well known sunday its back on the road.

    Tmw attach plastic coverings, struts and wheels back on. Tis a sad day, took so long to finish, but came so fast.

    Its a interesting sound, mellow idle, not at deep as my last setup, but not as loud as I expected. Excited to hear it under load. The blower still screams louder though.

    2.5" from mandrel bends? truebenz? one of those people. I will not tell u the setup.

    Excellent work guy, maybe I should have a lil competition with you and see who had to replace more metal with my 2 door that got t boned.

    Considering I can cut 100% of the **** I need off a wrecked car I got the engine out of. Im thinking of doing it. I scored an IngersollRand 30 gallon compressor too so I might just need a wire feed welder. It will need drivers quarter, rockers and drivers door. Plus the front bumper too. All the parts are sitting in oslo. Would cost me maybe 300 bucks for all the metal, door and front bumper.

    I know the cars going to be on the ground but id have a hell of a time not rattle bombing the whole bottom black that color would drive me nuts.

    thanks 98. I wanna see progress pics when u try to do more metal than me.

    Funny though was that my original plan was rust bullet black underneath, but the linseed oil test was eating me alive then I figured blue to match the car. I saw yellow at the store and laughed and bought it... now its funny

    Drove 25 miles, all is good. Kinda scary driving a car thats been on stands for almost a month not knowing if the work done will fail at any given time. I dont think my washer pump works that I just replaced unless it takes a long time to prime/purge or something? Or I dont know the correct button haha. That and why the passenger window dont work, doesnt even make the lights dim holding it down. Oh well.

    Gmpp kit is over rated when you drive normal btw. Good to have anyway
