Re: I am from the Desert
Great job so far. Did you bend your own brake lines or buy a prebent kit

Re: I am from the Desert
Glad I checked back in! You've come a long way bud! Your work is spectacular for sure. Is it me or is the forum nearly dead? I would have expected several guys respond to all the work you have accomplished.
