Does anyone know if #1 the SS brake lines and hoses can still be ordered from Inline tube? Last thread I can find, then didn't have the template. If not where is the best bet? and #2 If anyone is still making the rear shock mounting plates?
I can use the upgraded parts if I can prove they cost the same or less than the stock components. If they cost more, I have to count the different against me. So, If I can find a deal it may be worth it.
Thanks for the links. I should have specified on the brakes. Its budget neutral as long as you are replacing with stock components. I'll weigh my options and see if I can afford to upgrade some but With everything fresh the stock set up should be fine.
Drove the car today and the motor and...
Got the coil over kit in. Waiting on the end links to get here though. Forgot to swap the wheels. To-Do list is growing. I've got to do something with the brakes asap. They are terrible. Luckily that won't count against my budget. Need to track down a small oil leak as well. Thanks to this board...

Id prefer to track down a part over the counter than fab one up...
Thanks for the input.
I didn't realize the long tubes made that big of a difference in these cars. I'm not a great welder but have done enough recently I could get by. Need to look in to it and see exactly what it requires and what it would cost not only for the headers but to finish out the...
Yeah I can do everything I need to do myself. After I finish the T56 swap in my Skylark I will focus more time on this. Would have liked to have found it a couple months from now, but It was just too good of a deal to pass up at $400.
Motor runs good and the trans shifts well. Front bags will...
