LooseCannon · 06-07-2009, 10:42 PM

Lovin' the hard lines. Great work!!

BuiltByBrooks · 06-07-2009, 10:45 PM

Very nice!

scotts62 · 06-07-2009, 10:53 PM

Thats looking good!

ShowSS12 · 06-07-2009, 11:47 PM

nice hard line but why only 1/4"?

blakeaz33 · 06-07-2009, 11:58 PM

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.

OLDIRON69 · 06-08-2009, 07:49 AM

The plumbing is very clean and thought out..Looks great!

lloydk · 06-08-2009, 08:00 AM

I'm not looking for nor do I have a need for speed with my air system. 1/4" will give me good control for adjustability too.

I highly recommend Ridgid for benders and flaring tools. They are a step above all the rest. They cost a little more, but once you use them, you will immediately know why. The kit from inline comes with 6 foot straight lengths. You don't really need to buy the kit though. I didn't end up using some of the fittings, but when you are just getting familiar with things, you tend to go for kits. Looking back, if I knew how I was going to lay out the brake system, I would buy the individual fittings I needed.

LMDGUY · 06-08-2009, 09:48 PM

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..

p8ntballer1911 · 06-09-2009, 12:18 AM

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?

Inverter · 06-09-2009, 02:21 AM

Very Impressive! Super clean and consistent line placement.

flamingbig10 · 06-09-2009, 02:55 AM

nice work

A regular tubing cutter works, but make sure the blade is sharp. However, I've read not to use a regular cutter because it "work hardens" the metal. Instead, to use a dremel type tool with a cutoff wheel. I've used both with success. The only reason I don't like the dremel is because it blows metal dust up the tube when cutting.

That would be fine. Just make sure it is annealed. The annealing process softens the stainless so you can flare it. But why are you using 1/2"? That is way too big unless you are going to join those hopping competitions

p8ntballer1911 · 06-09-2009, 10:28 AM

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.

aggie91 · 06-11-2009, 07:17 PM

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.

msgross · 06-11-2009, 07:55 PM

nice job...

texanidiot25 · 06-12-2009, 11:12 PM

That is some incredibly detailed work.

bagged69c10 · 06-15-2009, 05:37 PM

Looks good.

C.W · 06-15-2009, 06:21 PM

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.

mycool72 · 06-16-2009, 08:36 AM

very impressive!

jgh64pkup · 07-17-2009, 12:06 PM

cool build
where did you get the valve covers

BACKYARD88 · 07-17-2009, 01:38 PM

Man, I guess I need to start over. That makes my truck look like a hack job

chevy_mike · 07-17-2009, 02:52 PM

I have to say that is the cleanest line work I have ever seen. Great job!!!!

Keep up the great work on this build.
