so garbz and i started to run brake lines today. got almost all of them run. and actually i just stood over garbz to keep the sun off him and to keep him cool and to hand him tools.

from under the drivers feet up towards the master cylinder

the new duel master with new lines

front left brake hose and brake line

front right brake hose. no line yet

you can almost see the new wilwood proportioning valve

the new stainless clips for the brake lines and the fuel lines. brake lines running towards the rear.

rear brake line about to connect to the brass tee on the rear end

from the duel master and heading down to the wilwood proportioning valve

connecting two lines

running towards the rear along the frame

the new wilwood proportioning valve

up to the master cylinder

before anyone comments about the fancy new wilwood parts or that i have a proportioning valve. stop right there. i know its fancy and i know this is a traditional build. but im also smart and build safe rides. my girlfriend will be riding with me alot and shes hot and ild like to keep her that way. so safety first sometimes.

got in the double d steering rod and the elbows. we started to mock them up today. we proubly wont put them in untill later in the build so the rod wont tarnish. not sure if we are going to paint it or not.

when was or have you ever seen a bolt on gear rubber floor mat? this is the first one that i have ever seen. it came out of the parts truck we just got in. too bad it was too far gone to save. i cut the logo section out and ill do something creative with it.

I like the new parts. I will probably do the same.

My 64 had one of those too. Was in fairly decent shape til I tried to remove it and found out how brittle it was.
I think I saved a piece with the logo -
I have no idea where it is though, lol.

chelsea

chelsea and my boy chewy

if any of you have a Tilted Kilt pub near you she will be in there 2012 swimsuit calander and will be traveling the country doing franchise grand openings and calander signings. we are hoping she gets the cover of the calander and a month. not just a month. shes a top 3 finialist for the cover. so make sure to go in and see her when the new calander comes out or when a new location opens up near you. i know this is self promotion but im proud and lucky.

yeah yeah! that is me in a kilt. and us together at a promotion. i used to bartend and bounce in that damn thing. she loves it when i wear it. says im "sexy" in it

hood hinge in gloss black

hold downs in gloss grey

2 barrel intake in gloss grey. its for sale too!

neck in gloss grey

fire wall clamp for the ignition in gloss black. the fire wall will be gloss white. it will stand out nicely

Eric, i would be intrested in the intake... the 3 bolt intake and stromberg style carb i have is not going to work on my 63.

azratrod · Post by **azratrod** » June 17, 2011, 8:38 pm

Bill W · Post by **Bill W** » June 17, 2011, 9:14 pm
