Default Xtra week of vacation....

I took another week off and worked for the last 8 consecutive days on my cab 11........

Goal to have a runner for BB 2.....

....and for seven of these days Grant worked along side me... we did 14 days of work on the truck..... running about 9 am to 7 pm..... some days where 6 water bottle days...... washed down with a beer at the end....... weather was cooperatively too nice and humidex climbed to 42..... the shaddy barn was a good palce to work from..... sandblasting was murder!!!!

Too us a few days to work out the brakes lines..... finally did some perfect double flares.... darn just realized i did not fit the coupling first..... oh well still enough line..... cut atgain.... beautiful flare.....F*** forgot the coupling again...... now if I hack saw the flare and do it again I might have enough line left....phew...

System eventually was bleed.... detection a few more leaks but eventually got some good pedal pressure......

Pictures one.... rear end...... don't try to do the long side line in one piece...... unless you wish to flare the tube on site which is a nightmare,,,
