Very cool Timelapse shot! 👏🏽

[@sean_nguyen]

Nice, vise grips for my left rear were a god send. Almost rounded out my flared nut wrench. How come you didn't get the clutch line while you were at it? I have a Mach V clutch line in mine. I suppose the one from Perrin and Cusco will work similarly. I'll tell you now, it was a PITA to do the clutch line. Removing the bracket holding the line and and pitch stop allowed enough room to do the work.

[@DonteTidwell]

I thought I was going to round mine. they're on there SO tight. I originally planned on doing the PERRIN Pitch Stop Brace and clutch line: amzn.to/4avqiCY this month, but decided to wait since I just did the garage floor and now next week is this timing belt kit. not really lookin fwd to that

[@SonikJesus]

@@DonteTidwellWill you be doing a video on that pitch stop brace install? I want to install a new pitch stop mount along with that perrin kit.

[@DonteTidwell]

Yup. 👍🏾

[@xenoge3476]

Update? Do you feel a difference with the SS brake lines? I always thought that you'd only feel the brake line upgrade when the rubber ones were older/more flexible

[@DonteTidwell]

nope. no difference. BUT I haven't really got to drive it. maybe driven it 20 miles since I've installed them
