Geoff, EXCELLENT! This will help my '33 build project tremendously as I start later this year. I have been reading all the threads and wondering how I was going to find the info when I needed it.

geoffav · 07-14-2009, 02:28 AM

There are some updates ABOVE!!!

timdks · 07-14-2009, 02:37 AM

Outstanding. Thanks for putting all of this together geoffav. What else can I say?

Larry N. Johnson · 11-21-2009, 03:23 AM

Is there any need for a "brakes" list?
What are the std brakes used?

I don't know about need but it would be easy enough to add that system to one of the posts above and list the appropriate threads.

The 33 does not come with rear brakes (optional equipment) it will depend on which rearend is used, personal preference, and desired wheel size. There have been several threads about lines and reservoirs as well.

Here are some pics of the Southern Air system. It took a ton of TLC to fit the condenser.

geoffav, could you put a link to the Design Aesthetics Mod.s thread? I would say under the Body section, but it's not just about the body though, but that is mostly what it is about.

thanks, David
