I've seen this engine bay so many times from previous meets, but not recently. It was awesome before, but now seeing the recent pics, it looks like a brand new engine. Outstanding.

Thanks Hameed, Check your e-mail for a long message. The braided lines can be tricky to install. Need tips on how to do it.

Thanks Guys It was a tough balance on the polish/paint treatment, which was the effect I was trying to achieve. Many nights in the garage with my only company being the playback of all my "Overhaulin" videos off my Tivo.

As Chip Foose's dad always says: "Pay Attention to the Details !"

Thx Jonny,
I know you and several others have paved the way with this set up. I know my road ahead will have some challenges, but I do have some ideas that I hope will resolve most of the idiosyncracies of this set up and I will share that with you guys as time goes on.

So any locations in particular where you would recommend the T-bolt clamps?? I was afraid I might blow off a fitting when I went to Vegas 2 weeks ago. That was the cars maiden voyage. Glad everything held up well. Knock on wood.

Glen, I purchased T-bolt clamps from HTS before and they were great. They sealed the couplers/reducers nice and tight and the quality was superb!

I thought you were next in line for FI James. Tough choice on which to start Air Runners or FI.

Tee, you've got some of your own distinctive original mods on your SC as well. Wood lined Cigar humador and wine glass holders!
