Re: progress pics
got a chance today to get the truck out of the garage and snap some pics of where its at as of now.
OK, first, here is my dyno sheet: 371lbft of torque, 332 hp. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3565/...9bcf50.jpg?v=0 Engine and trans in. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3599/...8827edc3_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2431/...d810df22_b.jpg Close up of serpentine setup http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2450/...4b252ffa_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3630/...9a659998_b.jpg Headers are Sanderson. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3589/...95ee2ec2_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3333/...d45bbbfb_b.jpg |
Re: progress pics
The next set of pics are the stainless air and brake lines. The airlines are complete except that I have to connect two lines from the takes to the valve manifolds.
This pic shows the lines going out to the bags. All lines are 1/4 inch. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3384/...cba1fcea_b.jpg Here is where the two airlines go around the notch. This is the same on both sides. One line is for the rear bag, and the other line is for the front bag. In this pic, you will also see the brake lines. Notice the line on the top round bar. I STOLE this idea from Scotts Hot rods. No more lines on the axle. Nice and clean. Thanks Scotts! Oh, I am using AN fittings here. A braided stainless line will connect to this fitting to the caliper. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2463/...f767f59c_b.jpg This is the other side. Sorry for the blurry pic. The clips are freakin awesome. They are from made4u. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3408/...b25dbcc9_b.jpg This is one of the rear bags. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2200/...cabf5f.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2467/...53e7e244_b.jpg |
Re: progress pics
Here you can see the brake line crossing from the driver side to pass. side
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3238/...bb79d74d_b.jpg air line on top, brake line on bottom... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3355/...270d28d7_b.jpg This pic shows the Summit adjustable prop valve which is also a distribution block AND has a brake light switch. Nice little piece. You can also see the end of the air line. A braided stainless line from the front bag will connect here. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3383/...8e579b82_b.jpg Here is my temporary setup for getting air in the front bags. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3386/...578a891b_b.jpg Here is the soft line coming out of the crossmember. A little dusty in there! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3372/...cb64d7cf_b.jpg Here is where the front lines tee http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3610/...1b3ccc.jpg?v=0 top view of rear http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3315/...56dd6ec2_b.jpg Well, thats it boys. Let me know what you think. |

Re: progress pics
Wow, that's incredible looking. I really want to do hard on my truck. I bought some 3/8" line and fought with it until it looked horrible and then gave up. Your's turned out amazing have you done this much before?
|
Re: progress pics
nope, first time. I just take my time. Every one of those hard lines you see I did a first time with cheapo steel line as a template and after I had it perfect, just copied it in stainless. It took longer but I didnt screw up one piece of stainless.
|
Re: progress pics
Looks great!!!! I especially love the hard lines! Going to be a bad truck when your all done!!!
|
Re: progress pics
Lovin' the hard lines. Great work!!
|
Re: progress pics
Very nice!
|
Re: progress pics
Thats looking good!
|
Re: progress pics
nice hard line but why only 1/4"?
|
Re: progress pics
Agree with everone else - looks great! Can you let me know what type of bender and flaring tool you used. Was the kit you ordered form inline coiled when shipped - I've got them that way sometimes it is a pain to straighten out.

Re: progress pics

Re: progress pics
you did a great job doin the plumbing! what did you use to cut the stainless? Iv been told not to use a normal tube cutter..
|
Re: progress pics
Is that just stainless brake line for the bags? I heard that I would be able to use 1/2 Stainless fuel line for my bags. Does anyone know if that would be aright?
|
Re: progress pics
Very Impressive! Super clean and consistent line placement.
|
Re: progress pics
nice work

Re: progress pics
Lol. Well I have 1/2 Bags, so i guess I might end up getting some reducer bushings to run 3/8. I still have a few days to decide because my frame is going in the paint booth today so i can start spraying. :lol:

Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Wow! your hard line skills are top notch. Very impressive for you first time. I plan to do something similar when I redo my 65. I might have to "steal" some of your ideas.
|
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
nice job...
|
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
That is some incredibly detailed work.
|
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Looks good.
|
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Looks very good.
I just picked up a 69 a couple weeks ago and bags are looking very appealing for it now. Looking forward to more pics. |
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
very impressive!
|
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
cool build
where did you get the valve covers |
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Man, I guess I need to start over. That makes my truck look like a hack job:D
|
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
I have to say that is the cleanest line work I have ever seen. Great job!!!!
Keep up the great work on this build. |
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
That's some excellent work! I planned on hard-lining mine but DOT tubing is so easy, so I put it off to a later date for functionality's sake.
|
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
great work...
|
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
looking great, just ran through your post and i like what you have done
|
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
man that is some detail with those hard lines. looks great. if you dont mind telling, how much was all the hard line, and how much feet (approx.) did you use of it?
|
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Thanks guys for all the compliments!
