Brakes are on all fours, next up is the master & the last few lines in the bay & thats ready to bleed, waitin on the intermediate & front e-brake cables to complete that, then maybe,just maybe I'll have brakes! :shifty: Rich.

Master cylinder is in, little pain it the butt brake lines in, don't know what template they used, but not even close! :wtf: had a nice loop in one, with fitting pointing AWAY from the proportioning valve!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Obtained cleaned up & put in the heater hose bracket, now I need to locate the proper manifold fitting to lower that hose & get the black pipe outta there!:doh:

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

[RUSTY Cuda]

Got a coat a clear on the last two e-brake cables, it if ever warms up again I can put these on!

 

[onehellofadart]

What did you use to dress those tailights? They came out nice!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

used artesian (sp) metal polish at first(lightabrasive) then some plastic polish/restorer (blue magic?) ill get the bottle & check it tomorrow, one of the mechanics at the shop gave it to me.& finally just some wax, the backs I actually sanded out, as high as 220 on one, then step by step down to 2000 the the blue magic with a wet buffing wheel, then the wax. lotta hours for such small parts! Rich.

Emergency brake cables are in & the darn thing actually works, next time I get some help I can get the brakes blead & have some stoppin power.
I Think I got the oil leaks down to one valve cover, haven't done anything with those yet so not worried there. found a little antifreeze on the K frame today, so some damn thing is leaking,come spring time I should be able to move it around under it's own power! Rich.

Get one of these and bleeding brakes becomes a one-man job.

It's also handy as hell for testing lots of vacuum equipment.

Heh I said the same thing over there. Only way to do it.

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Is that setup cheaper than buying a buddy a cup a coffee, or maybe lunch! No unnessicary spending allowed anymore, WAY over budget, yea, like I had one to begin with! Rich.

 

[a12bee]

No, but for even for the 30$ you'll get way more than that out of it. It's one of the best no-putzin-around tools there is. Honest engine.

Hard to believe how far you've come with the 'Cuda Rich! :giggedy: I can even brag I did a little work on it....very little! :shifty:

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Got my 9.99 ebay valve covers & a little time to play, started up both cars & let em run a while then got to work on the valve covers, almost forgot the before shot!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]
