So I just realized that I'm about 2mos into my restoration, and don't really have a thread for the progress. I have my Floor Pan thread, but I'm done with that (for now) and need a place to put the REST of the work I'm doing.

I made up a bunch of posts, and will put them here, in this thread. I'll then keep going as I progress. Some of these pics are dupes that you have seen before in other threads, others are new.

Here's the starting point, on Jan 12th, 2004.

What kind of tubing bender did you use?

I am trying to buy one to bend 3/16" stainless (I think) lines and all of the ones I have seen are for larger tubing or have a huge bend radius.

Just the el-cheapo Harbor Freight one...It's one of those tools that turns out to be a real good deal from them. For $7, you can't beat it.
