omg sweet!! Thanx Dan! btw car now runs and I figured out the clunk..inner tie rods and those strut bearings were siezed, the hard cold start was due to a clogged fuel filter resulting in low pressure..

so today- doing the inner tie rod ends, bled the cooling system, diagnosed the horrible cold start- low fuel pressure- and now Ive got to swap control arms with my poly ones and replace the strut bearings.. oh boy what did I get meself into..lol!!

damn that's pretty hilarious. i also have a brand new fuel filter in my toolbox. can't believe i forgot to replace that.

also don't know how we missed the vacuum harness. it was right in front of us sitting ont he very top of my toolbox.

glad to see you're hard at it giving her new life.

[Mach 5]

believe me I cant sleep until this thing is done Im very glad to be the owner of this and I havent even driven it yet... I think I found a new name for her.. Racer X since my white tgp is the Mach 5 it pretty much suits the title.

You must have been having some fun with that intake.. I had to helicoli all 4 of the center intake mani bolts that was fun! lol

pics coming soon! been very busy spending every minute till 1am getting the car done. putting the plates on it on thursday

Thats the tool I use on a professional basis, and my flares always look perfect. You sure your cutting the tube square enough and chamfering it and it's sticking out of the vise bar the right amount?

[Mach 5]

Ive tried everything. Ive done plenty of lines before but never used one of these cheap ass tools. I think Dan was using the same one and had the same problem Im having. Its cut squarely and chambered and clean, also set to the right height.. idk Il figure it out. I may just swap lines from my white one for the mean time and I can make new ones for the white tgp..

I likes me a thread like this... congrats.
