I transported the ford brake lines in my 85td. This is a very busy shop with at least 6 racks and several gofers.

I put the rusted ford lines on the shop floor and gathered up the service manager and three mechanics. There was fear in their eyes. I could tell that none of them had ever bent a brake line before. These boys were parts changers and computer operators. After hearing their quote, I laughed and walked out.

I was highly tempted to drive the ford back and show them the new lines I made, and give them a brief tutorial.
