My plan as well

Also quick question for you. I was searching the beginning of your build thread because I knew you did it in the past. But do you have any pictures of how you did your proportioning valve and ran brake lines when you deleted the abs box?? I'm finally to that point and looking for some good pictures on how to run them.

I'll grab some for you tomorrow when I'm at the shop. It's not the neatest set up right now because I started with a 5 port valve and it broke on me while installing... And I replaced it with a 2 port valve- so I re bent all the lines instead of building new ones. But it'll give you the idea

I "cheated" on mine a little and used braided hoses. Probably not technically DOT legal, but this rig sees very little street use.

Nice job thou.

I'm not really looking forward to the restoration of the Studebaker Avanti.
We'll have to do the full set of lines. Gee, I'll be bending lines for days to come!

Shes been good. Had her out for the last run of the year at the end of October. This is how it ended up lol...

looks worse than it was...just pulled the tire off the bead. I blew it back on with some ether, but went a little crazy with it and blew a hole in the tire haha... I since threw a tube in it and shes rolling around just fine again. Nice easy 25 dollar fix.

other than that I've just cleaned the interior up nice and installed a nardi steering wheel I had kicking around lol


I've been a little distracted from it because I just got a 78 Plymouth Volare I've been playing with too

I got an aluminum distributor for the blazer for Christmas and some led pods to replace my old sealed beam fog lights so I'll be doing that soon too...I also have to pull the motor to fix a couple oil leaks, and im finally going to do the marine intake while its out- so it's more comfortable to work on. That'll probably be happening in January sometime

When I saw the pic, was hoping that it wasnt serious. That steering wheel looks sweet! But I gotta say, that Plymouth is one beautiful ride. I'll be looking forward to the upgrades.
