Re: 56 project

Electrical Metallic Tubing, eg metal conduit. EMT has a thinner wall than standard tubing to allow bending but cannot be threaded.

Re: 56 project

Well I haven't posted in a while. Things don't look much differant except now all the mock up stuff is now final. Finished my rear suspension, gas tank mounts rear shock mounts. On and on and on. All this little stuff takes forever but it is now under it's own power, and I'm hoping to finish in just a few long months.

Re: 56 project

More foward progress, Switches and guages for air ride are in and working. I recommend the manual paddle valves. They operate sooooo smooth. I made a mainfold that is fed by a 1/2 line. That breaks down to 2, 1/4 lines feeding the switches then from the switches 1/4 to the mainfold and 3/8 line feeding the bags. Painted my hood jams and around front grill. Mounted hood today and will align tomorrow. I hope to finish the paint in 2 wks. So heres some pics.
