Thank you guys for the comments.
 Sorry to hear about your grandpa Dave. I saw the thread about the bus and your grandpa. I hope everything works out for you. I like getting a little encouagement now and then. Doogie, Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure if I'll have a problem, with the restrictions I have at that one spot. Master cylinder and steering box being the main two. I just tried to dodge them while still getting the water lines to reach the radiator. I think I have an idea of what you're talking about. I thought about that too, and from what I could tell I could do that and still not cut the lines short. I'll make a rough cut 90* with two 45's today before I start work. Instead of the point in the corner it would make a more gentle turn. I love the comments.

Hmmm... is this what you had in mind? I made it in about 10 minutes. Very Rough also known as Ghetto.
 The actual water lines will be a lot neater than this thing. I think I can add this to my water lines with out an act of congress. Let me know.

I don't know what to look at more the coolant line mods, or the big stack of type I cylinder head cores.

 Tim's been building vws for 25+ years. We're in the process of rebuilding all those heads. I should take pictures of his shop sometime. There are parts and tools everywhere. For the most part, I'd say about 90-95% of all the parts have their place. That's why I've been hard after this Ghia. I have the space and the tools to do it. If you havn't, you should meet Tim. He's a real good guy. Some of the VKG'ers have met him at various shows. How many guys do you know that would allow someone full use of their shop and a place to keep their car while they build it?

Mikey,
Yeah, that is exactly what I was talking about. :agree: I know that in the plumbing industry (commercial and residential construction) we had very few problems with the system when the 90 degree bends were made with 2 - 45 degree fittings. Nice work on that Ghia. You're an inspiration for me to get moving on mine this fall. (Right after I insulate and heat the garage). Cheers, Doug
