sorry guys... not much going on here.  :-\   Ordering a new master cyl. and prop.valve tomorrow.  Still have to make all brakelines too.
I guess brakes will be the next project then....

I am working on some mancave improvement though... I`m currently painting the cover of the 1970 operator`s manual on the inside of my garage door...  :screwy:   gonna look pretty cool  :bigshades:   pics later this week....  :popcorn:

Hey hurry up already! That way both you and Roland can save on shipping the pair of cool e-body's over here and going on the VP run!  :stirpot:  :naughty:

Making the brake lines?  Classic Industries about $140 for all the lines.  Inline Tube about $145 full set.

I'd imagine the overseas shipping on those would be killer, I suspect it would be way cheaper to source some brake lines locally and bend them yourself :)

I'm sure our friend Bart has an ultra cool technique for running brake lines that many of us will duplicate later. One of my favorite things about being a part of this great group! :2thumbs:

finally got back to some work on the cuda today.  Installed the new MC and wilwood prop. valve.   First bits of the new brake lines are in and I taped up wiring the enginebay.  It`s getting cold... my wife won`t have the car in the living this winter....  :stomp:
I had a sweet deal on a top notch digital torquewrench... 20-200NM.  Sould come in handy when building the motor I guess...  :thinkerg:

Good morning Bart-
She’s coming along very nicely.  I like the grommets you used to hold the wiring in place.  Also like the wiring shielding / cover.
They’re both the same kind of products we use on the AWACS aircraft.
