Brake Lines Copper or Steel

[82Diesel]

I miss that car lol. Been trying to find another since about right after I sold it. Probably my worst case of sellers remorse. It had the original 225 Fireball. 64 Came with either the 225 v6 or the 300 v8. I bought a mid 70s SBC to put in there with a 2004r to go behind it. Had a 3:23 posi so that wouldve made a fun car.

I recently found a 65 Grand Sport with the 401 nailhead but it was swiss cheese and theres no way I can fund a project like that.

Ohh... Yes 225 Fireball, Forgot about that!! Yes, I LOVE those Fireball V6s Just so damn hard to find Tell you what, I'm in a group on facebook for 61-63 Buicks and 64-67s Maybe someone has a project car on there for sale? I know one guy on the 61-63 group was Giving away a 198 Fireball V6 With Trans for Free! The Bellhousing for the 198 is worth it because it's extremely hard to find...

If not I use SearchTempest.com You can search Multiple city's with a range of over 1500 Miles... I use it mostly to find Parts cars or engines.

I'll have to send them an email... they are only about 45 mins from me
I'd bet shipping is a lot.

You may want to add a couple hours to that figure.

Shelby township and Holland are almost 3 hours apart. Best take a map with you.

Your profile says Holland so that’s what I went by. Carry on.

another vote for Inline tubing

I have used nicop for the last 10 years and have NOT needed to replace any lines in that time and they still look new! The ferrous fittings are soda blasted then soaked in metal prep for an hour, I then use metallic copper never seize/sealer on the tube and threads of the fitting. Had a wheel cyl go bad and had NO problems/issues with removing the fitting and re using it into the new wheel cylinder.

I will NEVER use stainless tubing again!! Had toooo many issues with the fittings leaking even when tightened to the point of stripping them out!!!

I'm on search tempest constantly lol. I'm sure one will pop up when the time is right. I'm trying not to look at Specials because I'm pretty set on a no post car.

I'm not on FB but if you see something under 5k either 64 or 65 2 door please shoot me a message. Drivetrain not required.

+1 for Ni-COP - easy to bend and flare. I was total NOOB at flaring and did my entire truck without an issue. Watched a Youtube video and I was off and running.

I looked it up, Cunifer is a brand name for the ni-cop lines. But it sounds like he wants oe steel
