Morning!
Forgot my usual intro…
Sunny, warm and almost no wind. First thing out the door was fix a couple loose shingles on my lil garage/office/man cave.
Now on to prepping wire harness to go back into the 37. Some wires are a little short, will deal with that as needed.
Line lock, looking for advice. Or in this case, opinions.
Its plumbed to hold front brakes. So a single push button to energize solenoid?or a dash mounted rocker? This car is a toy, never going to see the strip. Owner just wants to burn some expensive rubber..

I would use a push button that has to be held, then let go of button to release the brakes

I also have the Hurst line lock. Mine is a toggle below the gauges. Toggles were already there for old fuel pumps so line lock was incorporated into one of those with a light.

I like the shifter switch,and think i will use the rocker on dash for the fan, which i think will be on 100% anyway. Low/high will be selectable.

Been looking around here for an old ramp truck to restore and haul my car and old truck to car shows.
Thinking I want it long enough to build a camper on top so I don't need a motel.

I think the old ramp trucks are cool. Semi-truck sleeper would be a good plan. Karl Fisher us Building one,COE. No sleeper but pretty cool. Make it Kustom on the youtube.

If I can't find a nice old grain truck I'll buy a school bus and convert it over to flat bed- camper
 
I love my customers... old dude (82) came in.. i fixed his **** while he waits and i never charge him.. started talking and he's headed to harbor freight to get something, he's gonna grab me 2 of those bodywork sawhorses and won't let me pay for them :)

I woulda never guessed he's 82.. he just did the whole route 66 run a few weeks ago...

They don't sell the front hard lines separately. You have to buy the kit (Not)

Research time. Probably just bend my own
