Yer Col he told me that too ,maybe this is his retirement hobby ,Hey Steve what material is your fuel line ,is it Copper Nickle ,lovely stuff ,and do the TAC over there pass Copper Nickle brake line .Tim wasnt real fussed when I tried to use it here ,I wasnt real happy about that as I had bought in 3 rolls from the UK ,a lot of the brake places are using it on custom cars ect and it has international approvals I ended up using Steel ,bundy tube and its shit

Hi Monte the fuel lines on this one are copper . Been on there for twenty odd years no problem. I normally use Aeroflow aluminium tube. Never had a problem with that either. Brake lines I buy from Perth Brake parts as steel bundy tube. Flares and bends quite easily. Sometimes I think Engineers over Engineer a lot of simple things that experience has proven to work satisfactorily. I must be getting a bit old and cranky as I tend to argue the point a bit More nowadays. There is more than one way to skin a cat.

Hi Col it must have been the cuppa and relaxed chat with you and Kris that provoked the R word.
Still doing 4 days a week. I still enjoy it so why change. Having more holidays though. Just did 17 days in US at various Rod events.
Working on another for myself. 39 panel van. An old car from the 90’s that I did for another guy way back. Taking pics as I go and will do a build post. Bit modern this one using LS 2 running gear .
