I was curious as to why those lines to and from the master cylinder had to be flexible?
Because they called the plumbing guy that does all the Cup and Indy car plumbing, so he did it just like those cars. Unfortunately no one asked how much they would be before he made them. My kids found out when I cancelled Christmas to pay for my brake lines...
Sometimes things just get done on these builds and that's the way it goes. When it's at a shop, discussing it costs money, so not every decision is completely reviewed. Some just happen...
And no, I'm not bitter or complaining... it is what it is.

OK... goes something like this. Driver 1968 Barracuda, referred to by some of my friends as "Pro Patina". Car has what is left of the GG1 Forest Green that was applied in May of 1968 in Hamtramck, Michigan. I have owned the car since 1988 and it is a reformed street racer. 440 with ported iron heads + 727 with a Coan converter, 3.90 gears and a 16 gallon plastic gas tank in the trunk.
The wiring harness was a mess. Decided to do something about it. Hate the Jazz Fuel Cell, it has to go. Then, a few other things and, it would be a total pain to do all this work, then pull it apart again to paint it a year later - so we dove in. Nine months later it is at the body shop. Might as well convert it to a stick. Has to be OD, has to be able to handle 600+hp... T-56 Magnum conversion. Then, stumble across a must have intake manifold that I always wanted... and of course it needs to be EFI... do not want to cut the intake to fit the iron heads... time for aluminum heads... and it needs a hood that clears the intake...
Let's just say at least now it is in the assembly stage.

And traded the 325 drag radials and 165R15 fronts for RT615k 295/40-18 rears and 255/40-18 fronts and some sizable brakes to go along with the suspension upgrades. Car now:
