The thing that bothered me when bleeding brakes is that none of the fittings fit tight enough over the bleeder nut on the calipers but then again maybe I was pulling too much vacuum (15psi) so I would always get air bubble rushing in. After bleeding 3 bottles of brake fluid I just called it good. Tried the brakes and they felt great. Drove the car around the block a few times and they felt great. Never felt spongy, same with clutch.
      That is what I was hoping you would say as I would like to be able to bleed them by myself and not have to worry about always asking a friend to come over.

      Honestly I have no clue and I have wondered that myself many times if I had to guess I would say a minimum of 3 possible 4.

      This however deosn't count the two partial rolls I have in my toolbox.

      The master isn't new and was on the car however it has been sitting for 3 years without any fluid.

      Do you think I should bench bleed it again as I never thought about that ?

      G-Force Crossmember going back in. ( 03-05-22 )

      I needed to remove the G-Force Crossmember to slot the holes so the bolts would go in a little bit easier.

      I like the trans crossmember. I should have used one similar for more exhaust clearance. Looks like your steady chipping away at it Marty.

      Vintage Air Hose Routing ( 03-06-22 )

      It's getting closer day by day by day.

      I slipped over some heat shrink that I will eventually heat up once every thing is complete in this area. If all works out like I plan it may look really cool or it will be a total disaster.

      I need to lengthen the indicator wiring as I am routing them so they can't be seen through the grill. The good news I have extra wire so this will be a simple task.

      My OCD wouldn't allow me to drop off the bracket till I rounded the corners. So I pulled out my bench grinder and completed the task.

      So this sucks !!!

      Apparently on the new panel I received from DSE the slots are way smaller and of course I already have 5/16 nutserts in the firewall and of course the panel is painted.

      Fender is going back in hibernation since I want to tighten the bolts one more time before I install the fender.

      Steering Shaft Install ( 04-01-22 )

      One of my daughters friends brother likes working on cars so he offered to help. So we started working on all the projects that require having a second set of hands.

      The first project we worked on was the steering column & steering shaft.

      Because of my day job I learned about the Mag Daddy Magnets and how useful they can be.

      You can barely see them in the picture but they are holding up the wires and you can still move them around till you figure out the final layout.
