For real. You don't have to desert us when you are just sitting in the house, you know.

i'm still here brotha!

shenk10 · 01-17-2011, 01:24 AM

Don't worry about it Dennis, just having the part number is fine. What all did you use to clean the engine before you primed it though? Hopefully I'll be doing that next weekend.

menace121978 · 01-17-2011, 08:59 AM

i used a case of cheapo brake cleaner from wally world and lots of rags. my motor was pretty clean to begin with. then just hit it with a scotch bright pad

menace121978 · 01-18-2011, 04:06 PM

i'm baaaack!!! i managed to get my butt in gear for most of the morning and i got the fender bolted in completely along with the battery tray. getting all the holes lined up was a pain! couple of pics of the key chain too

imsuchaman55 · 01-18-2011, 04:45 PM

If i could i`ll say this, use 94-6 SS impala braided stainless steel brake lines , they are a direct fit.I got mine off of ebay and also heard the rubber ones could collapse.Like i said "heard" since my setup is all stainless steel and the front ones were braided from russell perfromance i`ll make it all match up..

thanks
