Chris - that would be fantastic! - please give me a PM with what you have - from the look of it I will be needing all hard lines and the accumulator - certainly willing to pay for them! Thanks!
It's all over in my storage unit... I've got to grab some stuff out of it so lemme see if I can get over there today and snap some pics.
Here's my rusty hunk.....I actually had to cut mine out, my fittings were so bad. I grazed silver "rings" on my hard lines, then slid hoses over them, and then clamped. Not ideal, but secure. I was thinking, couldn't one just buy some stainless or standard steel fuel lines from Summit or somewhere, and make some custom lines? Makes sense to me.....
Here ya go... I've got lots of lines for these cars. Brake, A/T cooler, and these. Behold, the non-rusty versions:
Rear of lines.
There's some varnish on all of these... they weren't drained completely. The rubber hoses are intact but I wouldn't recommend using them.
Engine side ends... I put some penetrating oil on them, should come off pretty easy. I'll do that before sending.
The trick with shipping them is that they're a bit long. I've had lines shipped to me before and they usually bend them to reduce the length. I'm willing to give that a try, but it would probably be best if I could ship them intact.
If I get past the pain of shipping stuff I should probably see if I can find homes for the rest of the stuff I have. I won't be using most of it - had my fun with tearing the car down and replacing everything.
That's the difference between buying a $1000 project car here in SoCal and buying one from a more moist region of the US.
The donor car was stored indoors for many years, too. Amazing how clean it was. It had been wrecked young and had several people thinking they could restore it. By the time I got it a bunch had been stripped but the driveline was all there. Lots of stuff off of it looks dang near new.
