That was a fast turnaround. You hear too many stories about shops sitting on the work as the easier projects flow in and out. Will they also be doing the paint?

^^^ This is me ;D guy does amazing metal work though

Put the last coat of paint on the frame and installed new stainless steel break lines.

Very nice! Are those pre-bent brake lines or did you bend yourself? If pre-bent where did you buy those.

I'm at that point on my build and did the frame rail lines myself, but I know that I couldn't get the bends that nice.

It's a pre bent kit from Inline Tubing I got it from Tom's Bronco Parts. It included all the brake lines. They are really nice.

That looks really good fish. Mine is in copper which is a little more translucent but I’m still happy with it

Looking good. Can't wait to set the body back on the frames

I got the transmission cleaned stripped primed and painted today. I mounted the Bronco Hut cross member. I'm hoping to get it bolted to the engine and set in the frame in the next couple days

I got the transmission installed today.

Need to get my transfer case bolted up and twin stick installed and the body should be ready to go on.

If you run the lines on top of the frame, make sure you can get to any connection points with wrenches once the body is back on. I made that mistake once %)

I was looking at that last night. I definitely need to figure out a safe place to run them
