Yeah I am curious how that rear brake line is going to fit. The one I ordered could have been longer but it was made by a different company.

Hope your machinist is faster than my machinist.
I told mine I wasn't in a hurry. Then stopped and said to him. "Did I just tell my machinist I wasn't in a hurry?" "Lets forget I said that!"

I have been thinking the same thing for the last few days. I figured he would post up his truck out of nowhere about half put together already.

Yes do check in. Inquiring minds want to know.

[naphtali5725]

Hey guys!

Had to make an unexpected 1000 mile trip to get my Dad, he is here for a few weeks/months. He'll be helping me work on my truck in-between fly fishing

Have lots of pics to post of all the parts I got in...
All is well, just a little delayed, but that's OK. Still plan on being done by years end!
