        I used Dynamat , but what ever you choose it's a very good idea . Makes a big difference . One question , don't you think you installed it a bit to soon ? . It could get damaged . There will be a lot of traffic in and out , custom dash install , stereo , body work dust , etc .. .

            yesterday I started with bending some cunifer brake lines





            tested my flaring tool and guess I bought cheap stuff or my skills just s*cks







            and finally I ordered my set of wheels



            Showwheels Streeter 20x8.5 20x10 custom black and polished lips

            as soon the wheels arrive I finally can start with all body work..

              I am impressed. I have had 14 of the 1970-1972 Monte's over the years and before they started getting expensive, would have took a pass on anything that had rust in the frame. Definately subscribing to the thread.

                I've done that to tubing with cheap flaring tools - my dad's old junk didn't have the inserts for a double flair, but it would single pretty good. Do y'all have parts stores that rent tools? It might be worth checking into.

                    practice makes it perfect. I finally made some nice double flares on the cunifer brake lines



                    I just ordered one 285-30-20 falken FK-453 tire for test fitting my rear 20x10 rims. can't wait to receive the rims

                        How many of us have messed with getting the perfect double flare then realized you forgot the damn nut...
