Re: My 1965 build thread
Love the pics. Electron. You know you can buy that stuff in different lenghts at the store flared on both ends. That would'nt be as fun though.;) You would think with all the sanding you do you would'nt have finger prints.

Almost got the double flare figured out. Got the 55 gas line done, but it didn't turn out as good as my 3rd pratice (Pic). |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Good job Alan........Practice makes perfect !!!!!!!!!!

Re: My 1965 build thread
Your double flares look good Alan after only 3 tries! It does help to put just a drop of oil on the point where the anvil goes into the tube, I know they you aren't supposed to put stuff in the line but just a little lubrication goes a long way towards reducing friction and getting the material to not "prefer" one side over the other, especially with SS it can have some soft and hard spots.

:smoke: Don't let them make fun of your expertise with the scanning electron microscope photographs, Alan. They're just jealous. I've seen some articles in various car magazines on this art of tubing and it is a skill I'd like to obtain one day. Looks like you're well on your way.
Mac. :mm: |

Laid the inner bedside patches on the bedside to see what they look like. I love Mar-K products. Very good quality. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC01379.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC01380.jpg The only thing I noticed was there is one square hole missing on the short patch in the middle and 2 missing on the long patch. The one in the corner of the long one might need to be there. I don't know if it's the way they make all of them or did this set get missed. What do ya'll think? http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC01381.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...d/DSC01382.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
I would imagine it just got missed because that is where it bolts to the cross-sills giving the side the needed support. Thanks for the good pictures, I know where I am getting my patch panels from!
Your bedsides look flawless!! awesome job |

Here is the reply from Mar-K. if any of you have these measurements he is talking about forward them to me. That way I can do a comparision between several trucks and not just one. I wouldn't want to send bad info to him. Thanks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote:

Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan, I just finished reading your ENTIRE build thread! My daughter was born 10 days ago, and she likes to be awake between 3am and 5am, so I've been holding her with a laptop next to me, reading this thread. (She's in my lap right now.) Thanks for providing such good info and taking pics! I've learned a lot.
But now I'll have to find something else to read. Unless you can provide two hours worth of updates every day? Is that enough motivation for you?:lol: |

Here are the deminsions on my bedside. I'm curious if everyone has these holes I marked. I'm going to forward this to Mar-K |
Re: My 1965 build thread
Looks real good Alan, got to keep the supplier straight.

Re: My 1965 build thread
I'll try the oil the next time. My flare tool says it's for copper,aluminum, and steel. I guess it won't do SS. I think I remember that SS requires a different flare tool. Thanks for the advice.
Yes alan, you are correct. the SS requires a 33deg flare while all others are a 45deg flare. there are separate flare tools for ss and standard. Hope this helps. |

you are correct again! Im sorry, I thought 33 but I guess it is 37. I have seen SS flaired to 45deg and seal, but I am not sure how much I would trust it, exp on a brake system. |
