Hubs, Bearings, Brakes and Rear disc brake convertion. Plus I conned lance into removing all the crappy 80's tint off the windows   

The rims will be CARC tan. But for now they will just be rattle can black until I take them apart and cut down the run flats

 :laughing4:   I've never seen tint removed with vise grips before.

Way to go Keith Stone!

They say there's a thousand and one uses for vise grips  I think he just found the thousand and two.  :icon_salut:

Man I was all happy that I finished one knuckle today after work. R & R ball joints and wire wheeled it. Then I see all your progress.  :icon_scratch:

So where did you get brake lines.  I'm having 2nd thoughts about using my originals.

Well realise Richard when you see "my Progess" Its really Noah and Lance's Progress. Im off shore right now. Noah just sends me picture updates when im out here. Plus know has a kickass shop with plenty of the right tools to do the job, so that helps progress alot.

On the hard brake lines on the front, I actually bought a bender and and lines from Oriellys and bent them my self. Not too hard. I would reccomend doing them if yours are crappy. Just takes some patience.  But if yours are still good then reuse them.

I broke real easy and starting thinking about what would happen with a lucky hit.

You can buy braided brake cable at most any auto parts place.  Buy your length and your fittings, and you're off to the races!
Restoring/building a War Wagon - good advice ALWAYS welcome!
