Re: The Vandal. 1957 "Big glass" 3100 restomod.

Dang, good eye. When I first read this I assumed it was the camera angle, because I mocked this up and ran it through the travel without a problem. Sure enough, when I tightened the hose fitting, it spun and wound up the hose. Fixed it.... Next time I pull the wheels off, I'm going to bend the tab a bit. That should give it more relief on the angle.


Moving on... I knew the holes on the brake pedal didn't line up, I've been procrastinating on fixing it. (4 years, haha).


Got out the welder and turned it up to the big boy settings. Fill'er up.


After grinding, sanding, blasting, and powder coat.


Installed. Temporary. The bracket will come back out for final paint.


After that, I got wifey to come out and pump the pedal while I bled the brakes. So far NO LEAKS!!!! Brakes are done, crossed that off the list!
