1973 Dart Sport
Well even with the $200 professional brake line flaring tool the stainless steel line isn't cooperating. Eastwood only sent 1 of the 3 other tools I ordered too so that was a nice surprise. They couldn't even look up my order when I called them so who knows when they'll show up. Was trying to get by with some harbor freight line benders and it just wasn't happening. Could really use an extra set of hands and i just don't have the help, I'm out of patience. I think I'm officially done with working on this car myself outside of getting the engine fired up and dropped in. Going to spend the rest of the day getting quotes from hot rod shops to do the brake lines and wiring. It's been a great experience and I definitely feel like I've put in enough sweat and blood to call this MY car, just going to outsource the finishing touches.
Was able to get a bracket made for the handbrake, it surprisingly went pretty smooth. If you listen closely you can hear the sound of 1000 purist turning over in their graves as I post this image:
