Re: Scott's '51 Build

More - my TCI chassis came with 3/16" SS brake lines installed and the brake booster/master cylinder on the left frame rail. I swapped to a firewall setup and had to plumb up the new setup. I ended up buying a sweet Rigid 37 degree single flare tool and a roll of SS brake line from Eastwood. Worked great but a little pricey. The cool little SS brake line spacer clamps are from Kugel.

Followed FlySoCal's lead (thanks!) and sent my worn out door hinges off to Dr. J's Restoration Rx for a rebuild. I had him replace all the faceplates (tip of the day - not sure if they are available anywhere else - he tooled them up himself) as they were also beat. I tried to repair the old faceplates but that was brain damage as they are thin and way to hard to get right. The hinges now look great and just need painted so I can mount the doors.

I'm using the DBW gas pedal from a 2006 Silverado. It stuck out a little far so I cut a wedge, bent it and welded it back. Better now.
