Thanks, man! Glad to have you aboard. No tangible progress to report. Had a new garage helper join the family, so my project time has been quite limited ... And what little I have had has gone towards trying to get a motor back in my Impala 😉

Cute little guy! Enjoy them while they are young, they grow up so fast. Boy, do I know how life gets in the way of these projects, but, if we persist, it’ll get done some day! Good luck gettin the motor in the imp.

Good for you, I'm digging the 66 CRZLINR!

Re: New project! The "Red Herring"
 

Thank you gents! Doing what I can in bite size increments. Once the wife is out of school for the summer, hopefully will have a bit more time ;)

Re: New project! The "Red Herring"
 

Just found your build. Some really "steal able" ideas, and nice fabwork. I like the helper too, hope he follows in your footsteps.

Glad to have you aboard! If this photo is anything to go by (taken yesterday), he's right on track!!!

Holy old thread, batman!

Since Veteran's day is a day off for us employees of Uncle Sam, my wife was kind enough to let me play in the shop during work hours. I'm knocking the cobwebs off this project by starting in on the brake lines.

I built a mount for my proportioning valve back in 2015, but never actually plumbed it up to the master. Took care of that this morning - only had to redo one of the two, buggered up a flare. Plenty of clearance to the fender support rod and fuse block.

After that, hung some rear calipers and then cleaned up and welded back on the caliper hose tabs. I cut these off back when I was fitting the axle - I think because they were in the way of where I had to sleeve the axle to fit the new saddles for the trailing arms. They went back on easily enough.

Hopefully this weekend I will get to some frame lines! And to those of you who are serving, or have been in the service - thanks!

Good to see you back at it. I've been away for a bit too.
