Looks nice bub! I had to mod my stove as well. all that work and you cant even see it in there.

the paint looks glossy did you apply with a spray gun, would be nice if they had it in a rattle can.

You could buy a Preval sprayer from an auto paint supply store to spray that paint with. Fill the jar with paint mixed for spraying, and spray like a rattle can. They work great. Here's a link to a Preval sprayer, so you can see what it looks like: http://www.amazon.com/Preval-Sprayer-PVE267-Spray-Gun/dp/B000TRL9PY

once the 400 was in , I didnt like the look of the brake lines being cleaned up and painted.  so I put in a call to inline tube for new brake and trans lines.

another set back , but will look a lot better with the new lines.   if anyone wants my old lines 4 free come get them.

Doug where did you buy your lines from hopefully not inline tube. I bought a set for a customers 79 403 T/A from inline and didn't fit right they swear they are correct. After going back and forth on the phone for a week. They took them back and never credited my credit card has been almost a mouth now and no money be careful. By the way the car looks awesome.

will those fit a 78 400 auto, i am wanting to redo my lines, if so i can take them off your hands, if not no biggie.

I got mine from inline tube and didnt have a problem til the rear disc.... but after I bought them and 4 years later went to install them... i noticed they were different... they asked for pics and I sent some and they sent me new ones.... that fit

[4SPEED]

well with them being repro , they may as well fit like all the rest.  I have a tool if needed to help the install.
I'll let yall know how they fit.

Im not going to have this car done in time anyway , so I'll just take my time , do it right , and enjoy it next summer.
parts I have ordered to lower it are on back order or something

I bet y'all thought you were going to see some pics didnt ya?   
new paint is almost done,  just a few small parts to be done yet.  then start the long prosess of putting it all back together. ( over the winter ) 

Johns 50th will be here in a few weeks , so mine needs to get done and out of the way.
