Nice work on the temporary booth. That takes some time to get all set up. Nice work. It is a PITA when people back out but sure as heck remember you when they need help. Hopefully your memory bank doesn't get filled up with these. :LOL:

Got the rest of the brake plumbing finished, just the line to the master cylinder to make when the body goes on.
I put the motor mount on to get it out of the way.

I also managed to save the original 1943 rear bump stops, just because I thought they was cool

Got the 3/8'' gas line in and clipped up, fitted transmount as may need to reinstall motor/trans to check a couple of things

Nice work as usual, Steve. I like the 3/8" soft copper fuel line! I may borrow that idea for the roadster, assuming I get back to it before too many weeks pass me by.... I suppose a guy could even polish it and give it a spray of clear for a bit of bling.
Those '43 bump stops are very cool, too!
Lots of nice little details going on there as usual! ;)
Steve, in post 949, pic 5. That stainless line there. Is the hump to go around a fastener, or some other reason. I'm just curious is all. More very nice work on the truck! It is looking great!
Ryan if you put your mouse curser over that picture and hit your ctrl button and the "plus" button it will blow the picture up to reviel a bolt hole in the frame there. Not sure what it's for! :)
Well the chassis is all wrapped up and put away for the time being as the body came back today 99% done, one of Brads neighbours reported him to the council for working from home so that put a stop to that !!!
I will finish it off myself and get a mate to prime it in my shop.
All the trips to the hospital weren't in vain as I spotted some old hospital beds dumped, I shortened one to use as a dolly for pickup body.
