My 1986 Baby girl has been getting a make over
I originally went to Moose Mountain Hot Rods to have the exhaust redone and change the remote oil and transmission line replaced. The hoses were the braided rubber line, they were from 2001/2002. I found pin hole leak in the supply braided rubber fuel hose a few years ago when I was changing the lifters to bushed type. Changed the complete fuel system Supply & return to PTFE Braided Smooth Bore Hoses. In the back of my mind, I felt that the remote oil coolers hoses should be changed for my safety. If hot pressured oil comes into contact with hot exhaust. Not something that i want to experience. I had Mark changed them.
He routed them way better that I did!! He is a professional. I Had put bigger and wider tires on front and rear. The rear tires stuck out too much for the look I wanted. There wasn't any fender flare kit that came close to the measurements for the rear. So Mark made them from old C4 Corvette hood. During the fender flare build and mock up another problem, the stock rear body is some type of molded plastic, the fender flares were fiberglass. Fiberglas will not adhere to plastic, so I ordered a new fiberglass rear. Since I was changing some body parts, why not change it to the look I want.
