Thank you! I like the look of the NiCopp against the black fittings, plus hard lines are just sexy. I will absolutely get water in the system....
Rolled it outside, even if only to sweep under it. Started working on the 3/8" air lines. I obviously started off with the easiest one. Line...
Small progress. I got the driveshaft loop finished and tacked into place. I also replaced the fuel filler on the tank so that it can go through...
Fuel tank mounts tig'd and installed. Working on headers now. Equal length fender-well exit is going to be a trick to get to work.
