Well, if you are gonna buy me a Christmas gift of SS lines, then yes!

Haven't had alot of time recently. Trying to remodel my house, build a shop, and work too.

Whats the status of the brake upgrade Glenn?

Ordered my SS lines, TT dust shields, and a set of SC service manuals from Carson Monday. Despite what I have read in past threads, they assured me that there was no difference between TT brake lines and SC brake lines (at least for my year) Maybe the problems had by others were due to either year model differences, or (more likely) doing a TT conversion on an SC 3 which does have slightly different brakes than an SC 4.
Meanwhile, my time has been consumed with my latest project which is clearing land behind my house for the construction of a (drumroll please) 30x30 shop. Yes, I'm building my baby a home of her own. Right now I park in a carport and use a car cover. So, the shop will be much better. Look for a future write up of my shop project. Seeing it get built will be fun, but furnishing it will be better! I'm planning on an air compressor, welder, car lift (may have to wait on that a year or 2 as money allows) several roll around tool chests, work benches, drill press, chop saw, and lots of other power & hand tools. I can't wait!
