20 Apr 2015 11:43Thanks Steve, the pictures don't do it justice. It is beautiful in the sun. Tank and tail are supposed to be stripes by end of day today, then back to the paint shop for clear coat.swest wrote: I like the color.

Finished porting and polishing the head this weekend so the motor will finally be going back together.

Got my materials for building custom SS brake lines yesterday. If any of you wanted to do this but shied away from it, don't its really easy. Originally I was going to use AN fittings like I did on my oil cooler. Then I found Magnum's BYO brake line parts. I bought mine from Dennis Kirk, way cheaper than AN fittings. If you guys want me to do a step-by-step with pics, I can but I don't think its needed.

Like AN fittings the BYO fittings are reusable so if one wears through or you want toake a change, you just buy more hose.

Clear coat is done. Not super happy about how it turned out. Looks good in the pictures at least. 
Joker Machine oil pressure gauge
Got my reservoir for the rear master, just need to make new aluminum plug.
Getting ready to start some wiring
Decided on a location for my new coils, they were to big to fit in the stock location.
Got this little gem in the mail today, no more ignition key.
