What did you do for your Brake lines? are they new or did you get restore them? if new from what supplier?

I restored them. A trip through the blast cabinet on the lines that would fit in there and the a wire wheel. Blew them clean with compressed air.

I like to blast them clean and then a quick Plating then a Nice coat of Clear coat.
Keeps them looking nice for a long long time.

Car is really coming along. Going to be a stunning car when done.

Got the new bushings pressed in and installed the lower control arms.

Installed the rotors, calibers, brake lines, torsion bars and front struts.



Need to buy a new sway bar with all the connectors since my car didn't come with one. Also new tie rod ends and shock absorbers.
Plan to start working on the rear axle assembly while I wait for parts.

Bought a sway bar kit but the bushing brackets that mount to the K-Frame are not correct.
Trying to deal with them about it but they haven't answered my last email yet.

Decided to work on the tail panel while I am waiting for parts to arrive:
The mounting pins on each end were broken off so I picked up some #12 wood screws to replace them.

I used the Gorilla Brand of JB Weld since it had a stronger bonding strength rating.


Test fitted the panel to be sure I got the pins in the right places.


Next I cleaned the stickers off the tail panel using a sharpened chisel to get the bulk of it. Then I heated the adhesive with a Map Gas torch and used a single edged razor to remove the stubborn adhesive. Tried 3M Adhesive Remover but it didn't touch it.


Then I painted the inside of the letters black:


I put a second coat of black on the letters after it set awhile.
Now I need to order the Argent Silver paint and new decals.

Took a long time to get this masked off. Still waiting for the paint to arrive.

Please post source for Argent silver

Why not paint Silver first then do lettering?

The tops of the letters are chrome, centers are black but the sides are dark argent silver.
