While the old gal is at the 'media blaster', I thought I'd take advantage of having the body removed and start on the brake system. Of course it's 12* outside, and a balmy 50* inside the garage, so I moved the stuff I need to paint to the laundry room/mud rooms/indoor paint drying room to warm it up, then keep it warm while the primer and paint dries.....Mary is okay with this procedure. Even when it wasn't stuff for her car .....lol:
I run 3/16 stainless steel lines, and AN-3 fittings for my brake systems....really like these "through the frame" fittings. They are AN-3 on one end, and 1/8 NPT on the other. They really make a slick way to tie the ends down near the wheels without all the tab welding.
I got the front lines ran today, and hopefully will complete the rear lines tomorrow.

We're sending the Mayans a calendar for Christmas!
It was a bit tricky bending around the master cylinder and over to the main frame rail, but worked out OK. I'm really hoping the exhaust running through the large hole doesn't cause issues.......
The proportioning valve tucks nicely out of sight inside the frame rail.
I still need to pick up the 10mm X 1.5 banjo bolts and fittings for the front calipers, as well as figure out how to convert the Ford 9" to discs in the rear. Guess I can't go any further until after Christmas.Ed, Mary, & 'Earl'
