From WingAdmin at 2/27/2010 11:08:06 PM Wow. Are you parting it out, or just REALLY rebuilding it?

From larryakruse at 2/28/2010 1:05:10 AM It is being rebuilt into something other than the run of the mill wing. I will put up more pics in a day or so.

From maestro319 at 4/27/2010 10:40:20 AM Can't wait to see the "finished" product.

From larryakruse at 4/27/2010 3:00:42 PM In a few days I will have pics of the alternator and mounting and my rear brake line replacement. The rear brake line was a pain as I couldn't find a replacement for the metal tube. After inspecting the master cylinder I drilled out the brass fitting in the output hole and found that a banjo bolt and oil bolt fit perfectly with crush washers. Problem solved. I ordered a 90 deg. banjo bolt for the caliper and a 45 deg for the master cylinder fitted with an 18" SS braided hose. Viola. A working brake system again and with only one hose and no fitting in the middle. Like I said, pics in a few days.

From maestro319 at 4/30/2010 11:47:01 AM I noticed one of your pix said "in the living room"..!!?? I'd be a dead man if I ever did that. Kudos to your wife.
