Small Towns Sux.....Sometimes
All I need is a simple -10 straight AN fitting for PTFE line. Simple in a big city, any race shop. Good thing is, we have summitt racing here. Um........NO It will take us till the 19th to get the part you need.

Well to clarify, I just moved here from Houston so in comparison,.......small LOLDont get me wrong, I love small towns and I do like this place, it can get frustrating at times however, when little parts are hard to find.
On a side note, since I could not get the PTFE fitting I needed, I went back to the old standard -10 AN. Cars back together finally. Now to take out the seats, frost king the inside, fix the rocking seat issue and change the seat foam bottom. At least the winter down time is good for something.

Look'n good there! All back together, see, small town parts are great! 
Btw, what's all that white stuff laying on the ground and roofs? You've got a pretty good jag of snow there. THAT'S more than you had in Houston!
