68 Barracuda front to rear brake line route

Hilarious learning experience. I drilled the necessary hole through the sub frame connector and methodically began to measure and sort out the process of installation and bending. The frame connector ate some length so the first 5 or 6" or so that should have been right on the rocker were already angling away, so I allowed for this and off set the holes by 1/4" and reworked where the bends needed to be so more of the tube was on the rocker. I straightened out the first (upstream) 90 degree bend, got under the car and thought I was on my way until I remembered the factory hole at the trans cross member area, DOH!! ha ha ha this meant simply making a 90 degree bend and swinging the tube into place at the dist. block was out. I realized then that the second 90 bend would have to be bent almost straight to pass enough tube through the sub frame connector hole and AT THE SAME TIME feeding and slightly bending the tube towards the front of the car to get through the front factory tranny cross member hole. This actually went pretty well. The next challenge was recreating the first (upstream) 90 bend at the right place. I've heard this music before and knew my odds were not good. these 90's use about 2.5" of tube length so again, methodically, I began to pull enough line under the car (tube entering sub frame hole perpendicular to car) to allow a 90 degree bend with the tool. Well, the entire tube has protective spring so my marks were getting moved and I came up short the first time. I bent this bend back straight and had to repeat this process 2 more times. each time, either bending or unbending, the tube with its' spring catching on holes upstream and downstream, needs to be coaxed fwd or backwards depending on if you're bending or unbending. An exercise in patience for sure. So it ain't perfect and will work for a couple drives before disassembly. I also knew that getting this brake line out of the car for media blast and paint would be the reverse process, then do it again after paint to install it again. Yeah umm no thanks. Definitely going to have a splice somewhere in the future for cleaner bends etc. I guess I needed a new challenge and got it! What I lack in youth, I have gained in patience, 20 years ago I would have lost my **** doing this and would have put a cloud over the rest of my day but you know what, I got one time around in this life, getting mad and especially staying mad robs me of whatever it is I do when I walk away from the car, especially family stuff so for that, I'm pretty dang proud of how far I have come.
