I am glad it's you bending that line and not me. I would have destroyed a ton of it trying to get it that nice.

dude i give you a lot of credit. i dont have the patience to hardline all of that. diggin the build good job sir

I am pretty new around here, but this is one hell of a project. I am amazed to say the least at the path this has taken. Could this be the "Ultimate LUV" in the making?

Cool! A word to the wise though. I have those same (*&%( hardline fittings on one of my fuel systems, and they don't like to be reused much...

really? are they swagelok brand? cause we use these exact fitting/line combos on everything at work from steam lines, lines on pumps that vibrate their ass off.. some lines have been on and off for years and years and years.

IDK, They were on the truck when I got it, plus a couple of spares. Looks just like those though. Mine are stainless, which is prone to galling anyway. Next time one goes south, it will be braided AN line...

hmm. odd. like i said we use them on all different shit at work, go through way more hell out there then the 200 psi im gonna put through them. put a little antisieze or something on the threads next time, we have to do that on the steam lines.

made a tranny crossmember yesterday.. hated how it was looking, and it was still a little flimsy. so i found a metal supply shop open today and ran after some 1x2

started tearing down the motor.. looks to be in great shape, just dirty. i will take it all apart, have block hot tanked, then get new bearings n shit, different cam, and maybe a few other things and go back together with it.
