As pretty much all of you know, I am 5 or 6 years into the two year project of restoring the GT. Yesterday some read the minor victory of finishing assembling the rear shocks and anti roll bar - which included drilling the holes for the brackets and making back plates to hold the brackets safely on both sides of the boot floor.
The idea of making the brackets and drilling and mounting them intimidated me for literally 10 months. When I finally bit the bullet, it took me about 3 hours all in (including fabricating and painting the brackets). Tonight I decided to keep up the momentum and start the brakes. When the car came to me, virtually none of the brake lines were still in place, so, no templates.
That said, when I went to unpack the brake box tonight, I realized that I had actually managed to have about 1/3 of the brake ends on the lines - and the lines are pretty much cut already, so, why the delay? No excuse really except time passes and as it passes it often gets bigger and bigger in my mind.
The crazy part is that I had borrowed a friend's brake flaring kit and lo and behold part of that was the gear to make bubble flares - who knew, so, everything is there now I just need to do it.
Why oh why does it take so long?!
