Family drama. The wife's 2 sister's, one sisters's daughter and girlfriend decided to move to Pa. They're at a hotel up there in Hoppy's neck of the woods, The u haul driver bailed along with his G/F so they're stuck at the hotel with 3 cars and no one to drive the uhaul. They don't know if they have enough fuel, and no money for eats.:wtf: Never seen a bigger group of irresponsible people.

What kind of an asshole deserts people like that. I'm talking about the U-haul driver - and please don't tell me it's your brother.
 
Anyhoo, what do you experienced folks reckon, do I stand a chance of fitting a brake line bent (roughly) like this behind the 360 or should I make a split in the middle right from the start?

Idk what kind of hotel, but they found one for $65. So the 4 of them and 16 cats, yes 16 piled in it last night. This all started Sat. The daughters started packing the u haul. There was no room for the one sisters bed, the fridge, or the washer and dryer, but everybody did manage to get all their knicknacks and crap packed.

yep, thats nothing, you should have seen the one line for my 99 ram that I bent up. Somehow, I got it perfect on the first try. Thing was 110 inches long and probably had a couple dozen bends.

I'm not sure who the driver was, but It took them almost 10 hours to make from here to Hoppy's which should be a 4 hours drive. The whole time this was being talked about I kept hearing it was about a 5 hour drive. They drove for 10 and are about half way there. Don't know if he was Bs'ed too.

I hope I didn't come across as implying that's a trait that runs in your family. It would just be so typical to call a guy an asshole that turns out to be related ...

would have been easier with the engine out :poke::poke: - but it still might go.. you will undoubtedly have to disconnect a few things though

A lot of things aren't connected yet and the steering column isn't there.

Thinking about it, I think I know how to do it. I pre-bend like a big up-side-down U that goes across behind the engine. Then I do the bits on the ends in place. Lying on my back. With my nose rubbing the trans cross member. Poking myself in the eye with brake line.

Wee. Sounds like fun.

exactly!!!! :lol:
 
Nothing like a little involuntary welding in the engine bay with all kinds of fluids leaking all over the place.

My engine is actually pretty leak-free, but still. :rolleyes:
