http://www.fedhillusa.com/ This is where I bought all my lines and fittings.

I like the corrosion resistance of stainless but I'm always a little leery of galling. As far as I can tell, their pre-bent lines are made from stainless tubing with plated steel fittings which I find interesting. Have you tried their plated...

You will need those zen minutes once you start using that blade grader behind your new 3000. 😂

So taking in the sunrise is a staple in my life. Trying to add the sunset next. This is 2 mins from the house. Ten zen minutes if you slow down to catch it.

I'm not opposed to throwing the kitchen sink at a problem and ending up with an LS engine in my Toyota but it would be nice to see this through if for nothing else closure. I bought a car that also had all "new" parts but had an overheating issue...

Very cool! Really wish mine was ornch and white.

Awesome work!

Oh I see 👀. Drunken employee 🍺😘 on O.T. on Saturday 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

In October 1976. Maybe Octoberfest is late in Japan. 😂

Like in the factory originally? You would think the decal would go on last. To be clear it was that way before the restoration.

Depends on your budget. I sent you a PM. Or, as I have learned, a DM. Why do these acronyms have to change every 10 years?

Lastly, I sent them my original instrument surround and instruments as well as a spare surround. I asked them to restore the spare surround if they could as my original one is in great shape. So if anyone needs a very good surround reach out...

Wasn't sure I could get a reproduction shift instruction decal so I asked them to leave the original. No idea how that decal would have gotten so crooked and wrinkled. Maybe it was installed on a Friday afternoon?

Found a big box on the doorstep this afternoon. Had no idea they were shipping. Very pleased with the work that Just Dashes did.

lol That's what I was asking for. I obviously read that post but I think my comprehension took a nosedive when I dwelled a bit too long on the straightener.

Take a look at post #1,242 in you're build thread and let me know if that's what you're looking for, if not I'm happy to help any way I can.

Interesting. Apparently Toyota has been using PVF lines for years but, like you, that makes me suspect the lines as counterfeit. Apparently Poly-Armour is their go to supplier. Having said that, they must have been making those specific lines...

Sorry I should have said look up "Poly-Vinyl Fluorine coat tubing" and you'll see most parts store brake lines use that.. Good chance that's what you are seeing by the colors you described.

Possibly. Looks closer to vinyl than paint.

They showed 4 available so if anyone needs a pair they are likely still there.

That’s a great find. Those are a pain to make - at least with the tubing bender that I have.

Here's my über nerdy post of the week. I noticed while attempting to clean some of my brake lines and fittings that the jumper between the rear wheel brake cylinders appeared to be coated in black paint, or something akin to paint. At first I...

It was supposed to be given the full rectal exam. I paid for the services, but I did not have the ability to 100% check their work. Not pulled plugs yet, I should have time to work on it some more later this week.

Was that head checked for cracks? Pressure test, Magnaflux or both? Have you pulled spark plugs and inspected for signs of water still getting into your cylinders?
