Sorry to digress on the overall build but your garage looks really clean and organized. When you're removing all the gunk using scrapers, chemicals and wire wheels how are you protecting the floor because it looks pretty clean. Or do you just let the crap fall and what are you using to clean it up afterward?

Thanks. Well the can says flat, i think its just the lighting. That Rustoleum Pro is a quality product. Plus i sand, prep & prime, makes a differance.

I layed down tarps under the truck while i cleaned the frame. I'm a little OCD when it comes to keeping my garage clean.

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build

Got the rear brake lines done. I went with a 12" AN 3 hose, seems to fit well aired down & up. Now its time to start bleeding and chasing leaks.

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build

Nice work on the lines. Does Nate put the brake tabs on there or was that your handywork? I found those tube wrenches really handy for chasin down the leaks. You can really crank down on those things, in case you didn't know this. lol. Keep up the good work I love reading the updates!

Looking good! What kind of brake line are you using? Is that the napa hand-bendable stuff? How about the flaring tool, what brand?

Thanks

Drtyrat, Would you mind pointing out which of the Eastwood tube benders you used from the link I post here?

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build

Watched the Eastwood video and these look so easy to use. Very impressed with your work so if they're good enough for you they're certainly good enough for me. Ordering!

Anything special you used for line mounts or just the std rubber-lined sheet metal type?

10-08-2010 11:28 PM

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build

Just the rubber clamps in 3/16" and a pop-rivet. They worked very well for me.

Beautilful Work!!
Nice to see another N. Cal. 63 in the area. Mine is much to be desired right now.... since I had my daughter I havent been able to work on my 63 in many months. Looking over your thread really builds the motivation factor though. Keep up the great work!

The air cleaner w/ washable filter was from noahperformance on ebay.
And the valve covers were from abad71camaro. Both are nice quality.

Thanks, Jesse

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this thread. Pop rivets? I never would have thunk it! lol.

Any chance of a couple of close up pic's of the clamps and the rivets in place?

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build

sometimes its really hard to gather ideas in your head and have them all blend together nicely when you actually start putting things together. Your build is a perfect example so far of things coming together that work well both cosmetically and mechanically. Awesome job
