Last Sunday I had my friend RJ come over and he helped run the brake lines for me. He had a nice Snap-On flaring tool which made for a real clean install. I am using a hydraulic clutch so I used the existing hole for the clutch cable to run the lines out and down the frame. Turned out pretty nice, if I were to do it again I would of used fittings to go threw the firewall for a even cleaner install but it turned out great.

Best of luck to all the other builders out there, I hope to have some good photos coming soon!

I am almost done drilling all the holes in my panels, the amount of holes needed to be drilled isnt that bad at all. I actually am finding this to be very relaxing, kind of takes your mind of things and is pretty simple.

Just realized I have been putting off updating my blog for a while!
My father and I have come a long ways on the build at least I think we have!
The rear end is installed. A good friend was super awesome enough to paint it in his paint booth for me.

This bolt not lining up was very frustrating, helpful hint make sure everything is lined up and check your height.
