Hey Rockin .

' What kind of Brake Lines did you Run ? S.S. ? Alum or S.S. Fittings ? who did you purchase them from ? Anyone out there have a preferance and which Company is the Best, Thanks Ski Merry Christmas to all Members of CHR.

Should have asked for Dave and Uncle Bob's thoughts, How about it Fellas. ? Thanks Ski

rocknrod, looks killer man. Didn't you post up the roll pan a few weeks ago along with the dash before it was finished? That color looks really cool, I never seen an engine painted that color, I like it though. I like that coca cola machine in the back there too.

Not using a roll pan so it was not me.
The Brake and fuel lines are all polished stainless, 3/16th" double flare Brake, 3/8" double flare fuel (yes it can be done). I tore apart the master brake cylinder and had it jet hot coated (sterling), then reassembled.
Thanks guys, I appreciate your kudo's so far.

Take a look at www.godmanhiperformance.com huge selection and guys who understand rods.

Sorry for the hijack Rod.

Yes but the "Secret" is finding out where some of these retailers get "Their" parts . . . . . . .

I was suprised when I found the fuel line that So-Cal uses on the systems they sell. As far as the cost part I was suprised.

Bob / Rockin;

Thanks for the reply, Bob I checked godman, and they've got quite a selection, Was really suprised on how much a S.S. Brake sys. would cost, I have a catalog from Inline Tube , http://www.inlinetube.com/ and compared to Godman their much more in line, price wise, good quality too. I've bought several things thru Speedway motors ie. Wilwood APV and RPV's and their much cheaper that the other outlets . Whats everyone's thoughts on the "Coiled" S.S. Tubing compared to the Straight Tubing. ? Rockin, I figured there was a way to obtain the supplies from other that a Dealer, now I have to figure out what the Secret is. Was there a particular reason for using 45 Deg. as opposed to the AN. 37 Deg. ? are you runnin a booster ? Which Master ?

All OEM size and style (except stainless) ever get into trouble on the road, I'm better off. IMHO

Looks nice, Rocknrod! Nice garage too!

As for OEM parts, I know there are alot of places out there, but I have had good luck with Midwest Early Ford in Springfield, Ohio.

They had everything in stock I needed except for the windshield frame, which just happened to come up "missing" while the car was in the bodyshop.

Anyway, looks great!

A little "newer" OEM
