Did you find a source for the single and double clips? What about fabricating the gas lines? Im still three weeks away from wanting brake and gas lines and clips. Hope I can get it
All from you. I would be willing to drive to your place with my pickup to pick up the lines. If I do that though I want to see Vaes cruiser!

Not yet. I'm about to make a new hard chassis fuel line for my project so I should be able to make yours. The lines on the engine... I'm not using a return line and made a new route for the feed line. What do you need?

I'll bet if you make it here, you can see both of our Cruisers... AND the '32. That's worth a WHOLE lot more than the Cruisers are.

I'll post shots of the NiCopp kit installed I promise.
 
I am putting the 76 back to stock so I need the return line also as well as the line going to the fuel pump and from the fuel pump to the carb. My cousins employee drove over my lines.
 
Okay. Once again I'll have to rely on @Vae Victus and his parts. The parts truck I started with was missing lots of parts. The kind you wouldn't notice right off. I'll see if he can loan me his lines and make masters for them.

I just took shots of the kit installed and they aren't worth posting. Time to get the 35mm out and try again. The lighting in the barn just isn't very good.

Take a bunch of TLC parts, spread them around your garage, and that's all you will see. But, still love to meet you. Come on down. I'm sure Rainman will be glad to make those fuel lines. :grinpimp:
 
And because a customer needed them...

Fuel lines. Here are the two chassis lines. Fresh off the bender...

I've added a small angle on the length of the lines. Subtle but needed.

ok what weekend do you want me to come down with the pickup? Too much trouble to drag Crinkle 76FJ40 all the way down there for really no reason. Did you find a source for all the clips so I can get them at the same time?
 
Im really not in a hurry as Crinkle is still at the painter
 
Where can I get new Tee's?

Shipmag,

Let me get this project running and out of here. The owner is all of a sudden very desperate for the Cruiser. It's close but not ready. I can do some bending for you at night but give me a ball park as to when you want to come down.

I haven't searched for a source yet on the heavy fittings. (I'm guessing that's what you mean.)
 
How about July 26 or 27 that should give us both some time.
 
Is it better to install the engine trans first or the brake lines? I was thinking the engine first that way you don't risk damaging the lines but nut sure that is an issue?
 
The two lines on the firewall are a pain but not impossible to install after the engine is in. The booster is what is in the way the most. Put the engine in and wait for the booster until after the firewall lines go in. Then the choke cable. Then the warm pull...
 
My deepest apologies to those of you who want kits. I got the hot poker from the owner of my project truck to get the thing done. NOW! so I've not been able to spend any quality time on the brake lines over the last couple of weeks or so since I fabricated the set for the "2NDCHNC" 40. I'll be going through the PMs and notes to see who said they want some, and who said they will want some, and who actually ordered some... If your one of these and want to place an oder to clear things up just send me a message with a clear understanding of what you want and I should be able to work on those soon. She expects delivery of the Cruiser on the 9th... or else...
