Brake Line Replacement
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

I got this car cheap because the previous owner didn't want to pay to fix the rusted brake lines that were leaking under the driver's door. After ordering some tubing, I removed the rusty lines & copied them. I transferred the original inverted flare nuts to the new tubing and flared the ends, then installed them. It took a few hours, a little brake fluid, and I had to fabricate a tool to put the final sharp bends in them, but there were no leaks, and the car drives great.
