It's been a hot minute...
Published on October 18, 2021 by Joseph Truax

Sorry for taking so long to update everyone. Things have not gone accordingly... At all. Those brakes for the Pontiac? Yeah, let's just say that if ever an opportunity arises for you to buy a car that needs brake work, DON'T BUY IT!! I'm a perfectionist and I replaced all of the lines in this car. I have done my best to create factory bends in the lines so that it looks as professional as possible. One hundred plus hours (maybe even two hundred) have gone into my learning of brake systems, and unless you have professional equipment (expensive - a flaring tool cost $350) OR don't care about how things look, RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM ALL THINGS BRAKES.

That being said, I'm almost done finally. I am thinking about teaching an interactive online class on how to form lines, create flares, adapter techniques, emergency repair techniques, proper equipment handling and miscellaneous guidance. We shall see what the future holds though.



As soon as this Pontiac is gone, I will be knocking out the Lincoln LS. My student is unavailable to complete it, and I'm ready to get my next class going. The Lincoln is taking up space and I've already begun watching the YouTube videos we made of the removal - in reverse - so I can put it back together. 

It's been a rough summer, but from here on out, I think we will see succeed. We appreciate the love and we hope that you continue to support us and help us help others by using the means you have so that we can use the means we have.
