Made a big mess in the garage tonight......
Race Ready Fabrications on April 4th 2011, 7:54 pm
So I got my car back together tonight and got her fired up. Sounded real good so I built some temp in the motor and wanted to try the converter. Set the brake and she goes to 5400...I was happy so I tryed again just to verify. That's when the friggin tranny cooler line blew off and blew fluid everywhere. 
Guess that's what I get for running steel lines with rubber hose and hose clamps. So my dumb butt just ordered AN lines and fittings.

Immediately after the line blew I walked over and shut the lights off and walked back to the house. I just walked out to check and I think it's gonna take two bags of oil dry.....
