Eric came over this afternoon and made a couple of the brake lines. Kandy blue calipers and powder coated rotors are on as well. Here's a few pictures:

Also, Scotty came by after the Clear Lake show, had to take a picture since I'm sure I'll never have two '59 DCs in my driveway ever again :lol:

looks amazing! 8-)

Those shock towers could use some smoothing though, they look horribly rough compared to everything else up under there...

In this picture the orange peel in the powder coat looks worse than it does in person. I'll have to see if it will sand and buff some. The powder coat on the rotors is really slick though, Billy's guy here in town does nice work.

The brakes should be done soon. Pretty time consuming doing the stainless lines. Worth it though. It's amazing how many parts and pieces there are for the bus. Kostya's garage and one of the rooms in his house are filled with parts :shock:

, not to mention the engine and tins are at my shop along with a few other things. 8-)
