Sorry I don't have a pic but most auto supply stores carry them.
Here is a pic of one I found on line.

Default Fuel Line Quick Disconnects

You should be able to get that at any auto parts store, they are called fuel line and air conditioning line quick disconnects and they will come as an assortment of different sizes for about $5.00 to $10.00 for the complete kit. Click on the web address below to see a picture it is the second set in the picture. Good Luck

I use these, handy storage tray keeps all sizes in the same spot in my roll away.



It also allows me to grab the whole rack and take them to the project instead of guessing which one I will need. ...and yes, any reputable parts store will have them in stock.


Glad to see you are back!

Nice!

I was thinking it was a bit glossy for satin - even when wet.

Let the fun begin!

Got the rear suspension finished today except for the E-Brake cables.....Started on the front suspension and when I started to put the coils in I realized I didn't have the Spring compressor at the shop......I'll finish that up tomorrow......





Also stopped at the Body shop and the most of the parts will be painted next week........Now....I need to find the Trim tag for the correct color..........Time is running out for that little detail..........

Trim tag? I didn't think a '37 Ford had a trim tag. Oh, and I thought you decided on painting it red? Come on man, the anticipation is killing me!

The Trim tag thing is a joke......Hard to make a decision so the reference to finding the non-existant Trim Tag for a color solution.....LOL.....But....We found it ( I think) and this is what it said....Midnight Blue Metalic.....Ordered the paint so I can't change now.......Sheesh!!......I'm glad that's over with....14 weeks to Power Tour........Gonna be Busy!!

Love the color choice. That is going to be one sweet ride. Can't wait to see the color on it. What color is the interior going to be?

Just sat & read all 7 pages of this thread. Wow, a 37 club coupe! I'm doing a 40 Ford Deluxe Coupe w/ls1. I envy your fab skills & equipment. Hint,hint, Speedy Bill has power steering fluid tanks that aren't plastic. Not critizing but plastic kinda looks out of place on a build of this quality.

I'll check into the P.S. tank........Got a Lokar universal E-Brake set-up today.......Neat set-up and it fits perfectly....



Had a lot of problems getting a spring compressor to work (clearance issues).......so ....after fighting with inside and outside compressors, I decided to make my own and after 5 minutes I had the spring in.......Here are some pic's of what I did.....









Stabilizer bar installed........................





Rack installed......................



Hav'in "Fun"
