Those break line will work great.

**meissen** · March 12th, 2009, 09:23 PM

Can't wait to see these brake lines all done up. I think I might polish the ones that are visible and then clear coat them so they'll stay nice and shiney.

Looks great B! Sure is going to be a show car when its done! Are your going to drive it day to day at all?

**Boost Addict** · March 12th, 2009, 09:24 PM

Sorry, but I didn't catch what you are sanding down and using the bondo type stuff on.

Going to drive it as much as possible. Not in the rain anymore, but yeah as much as possible daily drive it during the nice weather.

Covering the holes from the positive battery fuse link location. I also covered the power steering reservoir holes not realizing that the power reservoir goes there.

But yeah, this is what it looked like - and that's with most of the rust still covered. Once I got rid of the rust the metal was pretty well eaten away at the thickness.

By the time I sanded the rust down the metal dipped down like a pothole.

wish I had minimal rust like you B lol

**meissen** · March 13th, 2009, 07:15 AM

Haha yeah it wasn't too bad. There was a lot of rust around the seams and what not but I covered them in POR-15, then plan to primer and paint over it.

I only had rust by the battery tray, and radiator Support.

**PWND3r** · March 13th, 2009, 07:43 AM

You guys have rust?

And I get made fun of because I don't drive mine in the rain.

Brian, I'll be there tomorrow! Whats on the agenda to get done tomorrow?

**MP81** · March 13th, 2009, 07:52 AM

Battery trays are high-rust areas. Totally fixable.

All these people actually drive their cars, though.

Thanks for the reminder! I forgot to throw up a thread in the event forum for Weekend Party Part 2 for tomorrow and Sunday.

Overall the agenda for the weekend is to try and do as much of the brake line swap and possibly swap rear ends. Depends on how much room we really have though - the rear end of the car is as far back in the garage as we could get it.

You're not stealing mine when I'm not looking! Speaking of that, I'm gonna go put a combination lock on it right now!
