    how to make up a braided hose

    If it would help anyone, I did a write up in the custom c30 thread with step by step pictures using all those handy little guys. It takes the pain out of making them. Also if anyone uses a cut off wheel be sure to clean the lines out before installing them they will be full of debris.

    Also get yourself a set of an wrenches and a good aluminum adjustable that helps keep the scratch and gouge free.

    how to make up a braided hose

    If you use the khol tools and aluminum vise jaws the are a breeze. There is also a cutter that cuts the lines clean with no tape and no frayed ends. Use these and AN lines are easy peasy.

    I don’t know how to spell a whistling sound but boy that is one sweet looking bbc. I love the belt drive and that vac pump looks awesome on there! You’ve even got a set of the “real” moroso cast aluminum valve covers. Very nice! I really like how a race engine looks. Street Rods are cool but...

    The little man helped his Dad do some priming today. This was his first time using a paint gun. With a little encouragement he did pretty good. Was a good day

    Paint job came out great! I really love this color. I have a really cool (Well I think it’s cool) discontinued eke. water pump that should look pretty sweet on this engine!! Stay tuned!

    Very cool. I’ve been a tri-5 owner since I was 16 and I’m 48 now. I used to see that conversion pretty often until guys started to figure out that there really isn’t much difference between the 2 and 4 doors and started turning them 4 doors into 2 doors.

    We agree that’s why this 4 door is going to get 2 Dr sedan 1/4 panels and rockers along with new trunk and floor board. Already have the 2dr post doors

    Unfortunately this project has really gotten set on the extreme back burner but..... I have made a tiny bit of progress on it. I managed to get it blasted and put some epoxy on it. The body will be out of the blast bay sometime this week for a round of grey epoxy. Stay tuned!

    Rebuilt $350 long block questions

    I would not trust their work or the engine. To many red flags brother dispute the charge, or file small claims lawsuit. It cost $75.00 Judges hate shops that put the screws to the little guy. The judge will identify with your situation. I sued a body shop over some shoddy bodywork and won...

    Custom Made cover for a Bench seat

    This is the seat for the 67 short wide I did the door panels and headliner for. The bottom seat frame and springs are HAMMERED so the custom cover isn’t installed on it yet.
