Re: 67 Camaro Build
Expensive lessons usually stay with me longer....
I went thru the same thing 40 years ago, working for a bus company that all the air and fuel lines were made that way with stainless braided over rubber. A little spit on the end of the male insert goes a long way toward insertion success... I learned to use duct tape when cutting the line to avoid unraveling of the jacket and steel. Place the tape so the cut is in the center of the tape width. The trick with that, is to peel it off laterally, rather than circular. Helps to keep the stray wires in place for the nut to go over easier. I used that method for the next 38 years on my own semi repairs. |

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Ain't that the truth! You know, insertion success has always been a personal goal of mine!
Paint update, the hood is looking great!

Re: 67 Camaro Build
Thanks 69cam!
The frontend bits are done and ready to take home. The fenders and header panel are soaking up some rays before the emblems get installed. Perk’s Customs is doing a killer job!
