If a clean chassis is a happy chassis, yours must be ecstatic - nice work!

Since I'm keeping the stock 2 tanks system I was playing with line routing. This is a mockup. Would there be anything wrong with this configuration? Than going along frame to fuel pump and brakes.

Hey Bub, I also have the two tank set up and used the top of the frame rail for routing a vent line from the aux tank. The only drawback that I can see would be if you had to work on any of the lines later, would you be able to access them ok when the body is back on.

I thought about that also, I am installing a 1" body lift and if I had to work on the lines I should have enough room to get a allen wrench on the screw heads.

Thanks Chuckyb for responding,

Installed the rest of the brake lines and test fitted the proportioning valve. Need to take the bracket off that holds the valve on and paint it so it won't rust.

C4 Housing

Prepped the C4 for painting. Degreased it cleaned it degreased it cleaned it! Painted. The transmission is getting rebuilt as of this posting.

After bead blasting the exhaust manifolds, cleaning process ready for paint.
I used the exhaust paint by VHT and followed the off engine directions for curing the paint. I must say they came out great!

Off the Vehicle
Paint must be completely dry before curing
Heat to 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes
Cool for 30 minutes
Heat to 400°F (204°C) for 30 minutes
Cool for 30 minutes
Heat to 650°F (343°C ) for 30 minutes

Pictures are after bead blasting, than during curing and final product.

Prepping the engine for assembly and paint. Need a few more parts (alternator brackets and water pump pulley). Making sure all pulleys align correctly etc..More to come later.

C4 rebuild complete. Have to touch up some paint that I forgot to do. Painted the T/C cross member and side mounts.
