July, 2003

July was another good month.  Making some good progress.

 

I Got the pre-bent brake lines installed.  There is NO WAY I would have been able to get these to look as nice if I bent these myself.

The hardest part was drilling the holes for the retainer brackets.  If I were to do this again, I would install the brake lines before riveting in the floor and footbox aluminum.  I'd also get a drill bit sharpener.

 

The donor brake lines I had were too short to meet up with the pre-bent brake lines... 

So I got some braided lines from Tri-State Motorsports.  For a clean look, I inserted the braided line through F panel

 

I started to clean up the engine.  Since I was missing the bolts, I ordered an Engine Bolt Replacement Kit from Totally Stainless.  It had most of what I needed.  Still missing a few that I'll have to track down from Ford.  Take a look at how the engine is coming along.
