Dan,
Even though the truck is apart again I'm closer than you may think.lol Because this time there is no mock up that's all been done, so when I put something together now it stays. I'm at least at the point to where I put it together and nothing has to come back off.lol Rust repair, fab work, and mockup is all done.

I never used those green coated lines, I've always used the plain old steel ones so I wouldn't know. Maybe next time I will try them. The steel ones never bothered me because every own car I bought the brake lines were still good after all those years. I just replaced them for changes made to the system or for neatness. But I was seriously considering using the NiCopp Nickel Copper Brake Lines on this project, but there is a Napa by my job and one day I walked by it and just said the heck with it give me some brake lines.lol I ready to get moving on my project.
Do you guys remember that 1945 Chevy truck I did the Mustang 2 on? Well when I went to help him put his engine in this is what I saw. It really motivated me that a 73 year old guy has moved this far along.lol
Its not perfect but he is not concerned with that. He told me "Man, I'm 73 years old. I don't have time for perfect I have to drive this thing before I die".
From this
To This
He is even further along now these pics are about 2 months old. When I went over there to put the engine in and saw this it got me motivated again.
