What's the best thing to use for wiring and plumbing. I have a 56 Ford pickup that I'm working on and want to plumb and wire the engine for added detail. Thanks.

There isn't a best thing, it's whatever works. I have a selection of steel and soft brass hanging wire, craft wire, and Detail Master wire in just about ever size, Evergreen plastic rod and tubes, solid core solder, K&S spring steel, and a selection of small guage electrical wire - I probably have 50 different wires, tubes, and plastic rod to make just about anything I want.

However the general rule is: If I replicating a hard line I will use something stiff like spring steel so the line is striaght as possible. Soft lines and hoses something softer that I can easily put a sag in.

Check out your local Radio Shack. They have different size and color wire. :o

around here they have stopped selling anything smaller than 24gauge :angry: sucks but oh well....
