Going slightly stir crazy

   I was all going full till on assembling CHUG when I got to fiddling with the Brake system. It took a while to figure out where to put the Roll Control and the Rear Brake Proportioning valve and once I did that I decided trying to bend hard lines that would be traveling through enclosed frame sections and such just wasn't on my "want to do list" So I then figured out what fittings I would need to run DOT approved -3 AN Braided steel lines. And Now I am in limbo. I ordered from Summit the tracking says its out for delivery coming by UPS (I got some steel for my Header Flange this morning UPS truck freight. But no little box of fittings and a couple of the 4 hoses that should be coming today. A couple hoses are coming from TX so a day or two extra. I did some more organizing boxed up a bunch of small Willys parts that will not be going back on CHUG (going to be a big garage sale once CHUG is done) I made a nice stand block to organize my Taps and generally I been bouncing around.

I KNOW I could pull the Wheels and actually assemble the Brakes. But that seams to tedious for the mood I am in. I played around for a while trying to find the right combo of fittings to get from the 1/8NPT outlet on my Valve cover through that ugly PCV to the 1/8NPT going into my aluminum intake manifold. everything looks big and clunky so I gave up.

Sure wish that UPS truck would get here with my fittings and hoses.
