Thanks for the info, I have been to his site before, evidently missed parts of the info I was looking for.. back to the hood, I still need to raise my front fenders again about an inch to close up the gap at the rear of the grille.

That looks similar to the issues I have. When I have the side panels installed, they fit flush with the grille but there's still a gap in the hood. On mine it almost seems like the center of the grille is too high, which raises the peak of the hood too high to close the gap at the side panels. I'm going to put new rubber body mounts on the frame before I do any additional hood/fender fitment.

I am pretty sure the hard lines have a double flare. I am just using pre flared auto part store lines. I am not sure how to explain it but the hose basically has the opposite flare. The hoses I bought from Speedway seem to work fine for the front, but everything they have is for "front" brakes. Those hoses for front brakes do not seem to be different from what I would need on the back. Is there a difference?

Hmmmm, not sure I understand....got any pics? That might help. Then we can get some other opinions, too....

A double flare will not have a raw edge at the end, you`ll see that it is rounded back into itself to the inside.
