Front brake lines & motor paint prep

This weekend I worked on the front brake lines and pretty much have them almost done. Also was able to shoot the primer on the engine. I’m hoping to get the black parts of the engine finished by this weekend. I also mocked up the steering shaft which I hope to finalize and install this coming weekend as well. See below for pictures:

Nice braided flex brake lines going to the caliper.


Showing the routing of the hard line that runs from the flex line, across the frame to the driver side, and connects to the supply line from the master cylinder.

This shows more of the front brake line routing as well as the steering shaft mockup.

Getting ready to shoot the primer on the engine.
