Well, I didn't want to do it, but after mocking up the new MC and proportioning valve I'll be using my new eastwood flaring and bending tools to make new lines. Nothing remotely fit and I don't want lines all cobbled together in that crammed together space.

SO, another while I'm at it (I was going to do this anyway) I have to pull the rear axle for new springs, new seals (3rd member leaking bad, like I have to add gear oil every couple of months, hopefully it's just seals), and paint it. The rear springs are sagging bad. Going with stock rear springs and new shocks. Front is getting "Shelby" drop (really only drops nose about 1/2") with new roller perches, control arms, struts, and associated wear parts.

I HOPE to have this all done by April so I can test drive it a bit before the 50th anniversary show in charlotte.
