Well I decided to try and do things myself, and trying for a frame off. 
Sounds like a great idea, not so much because I dont even change the oil on my 17 gt. 

So my question is, how do I take off the parking brake line? I cant find anything online. 
Also can anyone link me to a how to? Or advice ? I'm not mechanically inclined so any advice is greatly appreciated.

there's an adjuster by the tranny on the drivers side, remove the nut and the cable will slack then turn the end of the cable 90 degrees back by the rearend to get it out the slotted hole in the cable coupler things, then the middle long cable can be slid out of the hanger on the floor pan. then there are a "C" clip retainers on the ends of the rearend cables on the brackets on the frame back there and one inside at the park brake unit inside the car too, the  front cable then slides out of the body and the frame too


 on the adjuster end of the front cable you'll see the threaded part attached to the cable clamp the end where they meet with a pair of visegrips to hold it from spinning then loosen the nut on the end Wink
