They had made a better style called the Emmons I think, named after some customer's design, but that style wasn't available to me then. I bet you could design I better looking one!

well i might just have to if they are out of business !

By the time you add it all up, there's more than that in it. Just a thought.

That is true but most of the stuff i wont need, My wiring harness will be by Painless Wiring, and my complete front drive system will be by March Pulleys, my motor mounts are polished Stainless from Scott's so i wont need most of what he has to go with it , and i want want with less miles on it.

Hey Sarah, you know what the blue/white worked pretty dang good the first time. You should do it again! Matching trucks, doesn't get much better than that.

Concerning the door panels, mine are still in the box. Let me know if you'd like some pictures of them for reference. I haven't even taken them out since I'm so far away from that stage of the game!

Mine is a work of automotive construction in slow motion!

Its not just a project - its a life plan!

Yeah, what's the color plan? Another modern/classic? Gonna be tough to match/beat Cloud9's scheme. No pressure!

Don't worry, guys.. Square Peg's design is well on it's way! I feel very confident that she will keep up with Cloud 9 just fine! :)

Hey have you looked at this stuff yet? Copper Nickel Brake Tubing! Its soft enough to run for the air lines to make good sealed connections, and yet strong enough to run for brake lines! Polished up a small chunk at the store last night and it some pretty awesome looking stuff!

$52 per 25 foot roll. And yes it has a light copper look with that chrome tint and shine. I will be using it on my next build!

I used this stuff for the brake lines on my project. From all the research I did, it seems to be the latest and greatest for that application. Also VERY easy to work with. I straightened mine by hand and it came out pretty good, but you might want to invest or find a straightener for a show-worthy project.

You see that copper used as airline in the custom car world alot to pipe their bags with, but in the bigger 3/8" and 1/2" sizes.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

seen them use copperline here too but the more thickwalled waterline . central heating stuff with brass couplings , there a bit bulky though
if you make the lines so you can take them out after bending them to fit the blazer you could have them chromed or nickelplated or just powdercoated in the same colour as the car

I'm going to try it out. Advanced Auto Parts online had a kit with 25' and 110 assorted fittings. Shipped to my door for $128.

Mike. I like the early 60's dash idea. I think it would be cool in a blazer. You could make it flow into the doors and toward the back seat.
