Thanks man. I pick up the paint tomorrow for the control and trailing arms and watts link. I think it will look good with some contrasting color.

**youngrodder** · 05-03-2019, 02:40 PM

I picked up the last few piece from the painter. I'm pleased with how the accent color contrasts with the frame color and other components. I have been busy assembling and painting parts fort this frame. These are a few teaser pics for now. I will show a lot more in detail once I get it further along. Its so nice to assemble clean painted parts.

Thanks Guys, I have been making some good progress as of late. I will have some picture soon of the fully assembled chassis...

**youngrodder** · 05-20-2019, 10:41 AM

I have been spending quite a bit of time clean and painting parts so that I can further assembling my frame. I'm gaining.....I mounted the under floor brake booster and a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve that I recently purchased. I might move it to the other side of the booster but I need to check clearances first. The one pic shows the trick brake line brackets that mount to me Porterbuilt upper control arms. I plan on going to a car show on Saturday at Lane Automotive and I intend to kill two birds with one stone to pick up the rest of the brake line and other fitting that I need. Its cool finally seeing some parts come off the shelf and onto the chassis...

Wow, that is nice!!
Big step forward!

**youngrodder** · 06-09-2019, 09:39 PM

Sooo a few weeks ago while attending a car show at Lane Automotive (like summit on a smaller scale) I picked up just about everything I needed to complete my brake and fuel systems. It has been over 10 years since I bent/flared brake line. I didn't make it easy on myself going with ss brake line. I had to disassemble the center section in order to create a clearance to fit the brake line with the flared end through the bracket.

**youngrodder** · 06-09-2019, 09:43 PM

Another thing I did was create a small bracket on the rearend to mount a brass 3-way T. I already bent and flared the small lines for the rearend. As soon as I check the backlash on the rear end I will paint and install the rearend.

**oldman3** · 06-09-2019, 11:21 PM

Marc, good to see your getting more done...Jim

Dan Bowles · 06-11-2019, 05:00 PM

How is Lane to deal with? I have driven by a few times but never stopped. I may end up in GR next week for work so might be worth a visit.

Their great. I deal with Mike. His sales counter is in the back right and corner of the showroom. Its about 40 minutes one way from my house but I get a decent discount from there as I'm tied to my friends business account. They have a local Hotrod shop an spend lots of money there. The Lanes brand is Allstar and it is very competitively priced among other brands.

Check them out.....

Thanks! I hit NPD in Belleville but get nothing there as far as discounts. It's just simple because they have most parts in stock for the AD trucks.

To be clear, Lanes is more general muscle car and hot rod parts. Nothing like AD restoration parts. Basically like a small summit. You can do some searches on their web site for the parts you might be interested in and the prices.

Will do. I see the showroom when I go by. I may still need some of that stuff once I get my act together.
