Re: Startin to work on the Clone Runner (it's PAINTED!)

So today I try bleeding the brakes again. Start at the passenger side rear & I notice it leaking from the tee that sits on the diff housing. It's leaking from the fitting on the stainless braided flex line I got from Inline tube. Mar 24th (1).jpg So I'm now removing it - it's junk. I'm ordering the ...

Re: Startin to work on the Clone Runner (it's PAINTED!)

So before I go and bleed the brake system once again I decided to change gears and install the universal joints on the driveshaft. Here is the Moog part number for their heavy duty one with the grease fitting in the cap. Mar 23rd (7).jpg Mar 23rd (8).jpg Clean up the bores before install. Mar 23rd (...

Re: Startin to work on the Clone Runner (it's PAINTED!)

As I finished up the line-loc install - stupid me noticed that I had plumbed the master cylinder backwards.... :mad: So I had to make new lines and install them the proper way. Like so. Mar 17th (1).jpg Mar 17th (2).jpg Mar 17th (3).jpg Sure it would have been easier if the thread sizes in the maste...

Re: Startin to work on the Clone Runner (it's PAINTED!)

So today is switching out the new line-loc.
Take the fittings off and the old one off the car.
Reverse order for the new one.
So far so good.

Since everything is new (master cylinder and new stainless brake lines) I have to bleed the master first. So. make up some lines...

Re: Startin to work on the Clone Runner (it's PAINTED!)

Next - get the front seats down from the attic. I acquired these seats from a guy who owns a 1971 green Satellite Sebring Plus. He said that his brother pulled them out of a car that was in a scrapyard in 1972! :shock: They don't look bad for 53 year old seats. Feb 4th (9).jpg I took all the side co...

Re: Startin to work on the Clone Runner (it's PAINTED!)

Had them soaking in the Evaporust for about a week to clean them up.
Then prep them for paint and shoot a coat of satin black.

Re: Startin to work on the Clone Runner (it's PAINTED!)

Last item to do from underneath the car while it is in 4x4 mode is to hook up a fuel filter. Jan 14th (1).jpg Eventually I will need to fit a exhaust system up (it will have to wait for now). So today I took her off the 4x4 mode. She's on her own wheels and weight now. Jan 14th (2).jpg Jan 14th (4)....
