Like this:D

[BLOWNBY]

Then this

[adamf4i]

Yes exactly lol

that looks great

[BLOWNBY]

Basically I removed everything,
-decided what was going where in the engine bay and kept or plugged whatever holes necassary.
-Then weld in all the holes. The larger ones I bought some sheets of metal to fill them in. Grind down all the welds,
Fill in w/ "All Metal" and sanded that down.
Follow up w/ a glaze. Sanded that smooth.
I used rattle can primer and paint. I didn't have it professionally painted. If you take your time spraying it...it comes out great. Just be sure the primer and paint will mate. If not it will peel and bubble up. I found out the hard way:shocked: :angry:

You local paint shop will have this stuff.

did you replace all the brake lines with steel braided lines, was that pretty easy to do , and was it costly?

[BLOWNBY]

Just what was in the engine bay or right at the brakes. Yes it is expensisve, but it makes some runs easier since it is flexible and looks tons better. :D

All the long runs you want to keep rigid ss. You will get some brake line flex in long runs like to the back of the car etc. I wouldn't go really longer that 36" probably.

[adamf4i]

i would just want it under the hood , just braided lines u can see LOL

[adamf4i]

wht all is expensive about it , just curious isnt the lines 5 dollars a foot , wht else do you need to buy

[adamf4i]

[BLOWNBY]

It's not a ton more expensive...maybe $100?? You need the line and the ends or you can buy prefabbed lines as well. either way it is more. As most of the ends are like $8-$10 or more depending on the angle?

[adamf4i]

ok how do you remove the big black brake thing , are the bolts under the dash inside ?

[BLOWNBY]

Yes there are four nuts to remove behind the dash. I had my dash out when i removed it. It may be impossible to get to the top two nuts off with the dash in???

[RSNovi]

It can be done with the dash in, but it ain't fun. Just need some patience and be sure you don't drop the nuts behind the carpet.
