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

Figuring out where to mount the front brake hoses was a challenge. Since I have drop spindles, and weird offset wheels, the stock location didn't work. After two days of moving the suspension up/ down, left/right, I decided the best place to mount them was in front of the shock towers. Not my best artistic work. I made some simple tabs and welded them on. Since I only removed enough paint to make small welds, had trouble with contamination and bubbling. Oh well. Next one, I will sort this out before painting the frame. Bending the long line from the front right to the master cylinder was not easy. But, I nailed it on the first attempt. Still needs some clamps to hold in place.
