You guys are great.
I know, gimmy hell on the tranny lines. I've done them before, and to be honest I'm never really happy with my bends. This was a joint decision between a friend of mine and myself. I did some electrical work on his honda so he was going to help me do my lines, then he said **** it and dropped the cash for the new lines. I am REALLY happy with them though. I never would of thought of that routing path and the bends are spot on fantastic. I'm currently redoing the fuel lines myself if that makes up for it. So far I'm $8 invested in stuff that doesn't look awesome, but will do for getting it started this weekend. Maybe I'll go for braided and look like a cool guy.
Like a lot of you I definitely see the this as a lifetime project however I guess I could have it looking pretty and driving all right in a couple years.
cuda67's 24 years sounds about right to me. I dunno the scale of it seems daunting from the beginning I guess but I really love the idea of a car I can drive forever and my kids might be able to as well. No honda will ever offer that for sure. Amen to no car payment and low insurance as well.
Sounds like I'm on the right track to a money pit, but I guess I'm not doing it to sell the thing, just dreaming cruising to the mountains with the leafblower boxes open and pretty girls half drunk and whining about the AM radio in the passenger seat.
