Thanks!!So, I hope this isn't a stupid question but would that meen that my car was built in 67? Or would it be pre 67. Seems like December would be a late date to build a same year vehicle. ------------------

Great, thanks!I just ordered my brake line kits from NPD. I wonder how they ship those? They are pretty long and need a long box? Thanks for the help. ------------------

Joe, I read somewhere that they actually bend the long lines in a big log radius bend. They are supposed to be very easy to straighten and hard to tell they were ever bent. ------------------

Right! The mfr. has tape on the line to show where to bend. It straightens out perfectly. When I did my 65, I tossed every piece of line on the car, except gas line. Fit was perfect.

Very cool. I'm looking forward to getting these on. Plus, I still have the old brake lines in the car, so I'll remove them one at a time and replace them as I go along using the old ones as templates. Thanks for all the advise!Joe PS, new memeber of the family, check out my signiture  ------------------
