Went up to Washougal WA to visit a friend of mine and decided to head up in the hills above his place. You should have seen the climb up to this photo spot. Saddly I was driving and taking a photo wouldn't have been a great idea at the time.

Sunday before last I dropped the Tub on my 48 Willys Jeep project and if I stick to my guns this winter and work doesn't kill me to bad this year (last year 60 hour weeks were pretty often) I should have it complete and on the road.

Hard brake lines. WOW I had no idea they would be such a total PITA. First the double flaring tool I got from Harbor Freight wouldn't hold the 3/16" D tubing well enough to actually start a flare. The second tool I bought ended up chewing up the end of the tubing so bad I wouldn't trust it. And...
