For the foreseeable future, yep. I have some long-term ideas, but they're not plans... and don't involve a V8

Hey XXL,... do you have the "inline check valves that the streetrod guys use? I think they actually regulate brake line pressure. Two different ones. One for disc, and a different one for drums. Wilwood makes them. Usually they are for master cylinders that are lower than the brake calipers. (like under the floor on the frame rail) After I saw your pics of the M/C brake line routing,... I just wondered if they would help.

I have a stock prop valve on the setup and the m/c and booster are at "stock" height, so I wouldn't expect I'd need anything like that. However... something's not right, so maybe that's the answer. Thanks.

**lolife99** · 01-02-2008, 03:12 PM

Just thought it might be the problem since the M/C brake lines go up over the M/C,... then down. Just a guess.

I am not sure that it would effect the overall performance but I could see how it would be nearly impossible to bleed properly.....

What about wiper motor? Does it clear or no go?

I'm using a pair of aftermarket wiper motors, wired together. They get out of synch after a few minutes but I don't drive in the rain, so nobody knows by you

I'm thinking about ditching the wipers and welding the cowl on! If it rains I'll pull over......

While using the board's SEARCH feature to find information before creating a new post, I stumbled across this old thread... looks like I took a wrong turn.

What else would I be wearing? I only wear the fancy stuff when I'm practicing my new moves.

Lotta good info in here.. and some horrific imagery.

Horrific. Truly Horrific. The reason I asked is because while i was out at the weekend someone helped themselves to the door mirrors and sidemarker lenses off my '68 I left parked on the driveway....
Coincidence? I'm saying no more...........................

Third is a quick shot of the fender back on. Note the obvious wheel offset difference on the rear wheels.

#4 is just a side view of the same thing. The black rust inhibitor I sprayed on makes the fender line a little deceptive since it's sprayed on the first 2" or so of the fender too (to knock out some 37 year old surface rust). From this view, the bed side looks pretty much stock.

However, on the last pic, you can see how much wider it is now. Note the gap between the fender and the rolled pan. Those used to abut each other. Ultimately, I'll extend the rolled pan with a nice rounded shape to fill that gap and soften what is currently a hard edge.

I'm going to try to get the other side skinned tomorrow and get that fender back on as well. I've got to get this thing back together for an upcoming move.

Arg, where are these pics???
