So a light bulb is starting to flicker with the rear brake line install.
I found this pic showing the flex line tying into the differential and then going to each wheel. I forgot that the line comes from up top.

I got my dash speaker housing done and installed. I am going to embark on the brake line install this long weekend. I am starting with the Right Stuff steel brake line kit, so hopefully I can modify that as needed for my 76.
The housing painted:
The housing with sound deadener and speakers
The housing installed:
A pic to show where the edge comes to. It sits back enough to be out of the way

I have today and tomorrow off, so I started on the brake line install. It went way better than I expected for day 1. I got the front-to-rear line installed (not the the MC yet), the front-right line installed and the rear lines are mocked up.
I need to cut the rear lines, re-flare the ends and make some brackets to weld to the axle. I also need a couple of fittings to complete the front-left line, which is a really short run.
Some boring pics of the brake lines installed.

I piddled around today for the most part, but was able to do some more work on the brake lines and started test-fitting the dash. I got an NPD dash, which is the version before the most recent version they have available now.
I am not sure about the height of the dash front edge versus the metal dash. In some spots it's 1/4" to 3/8" taller than the metal dash. Perhaps the dash edge will look better once the dash is fully installed, but I don't know what original dashes looked like. What are your thoughts?
The contour is pretty good - being all black helps conceal any gaps.
The height in the middle seems too high. The outer edges seem more reasonable.
From the front the dash looks nice
This is cool ?
