The "I forgot" comments had me giggling, and the oil ended up everywhere when I pushed the container from under the car, it was wiggling like a dash board hula dancer on a dirt road...

Yeah, it was coiled. I am happy with the end result. I did scrap a non disclosed amount of copper to get to this point.

Thanks,
John

Also,
You have a build thread on your Camaro, old or present? I'd like to see it.

Damn man that is some bad ass work! I assume you are using nicop, I love that stuff. That’s all I use on my 67-72 Chevy trucks when I’m building them.

No sir, it's an SS 1LE with all the upgrades I'd do on an SS like brakes and suspension, and the previous owner(s) did a fair job with the add-ons like headers, CAI, and [delisted per atty]. I can't think of anything I want to do to it besides the sticker and license plate frame my daughter gave me for pappy day.
And mufflers... and that's all.
And paint... paint and mufflers, and that's everything.
And this chair...
(IYKYK)

My first car had a mad mouse sticker on the quarter window, my last car needed similar, so it has a tactical possum. Upgrades done. (and maybe a cam...)

Brake lines are done. Not as good as I would like, but it will get the job done.

Appreciate it.

It was tedious, but not physically difficult. Tedious as in I just couldn't satisfy my OCD and said screw it, send it!
