Finished up the brake and clutch lines and bled both systems. Also, insulated the lines that are nearest the headers

Thanks! Yes, most likely where it will stay. The hood will fit with minor modifications

I have to admit it took me awhile to get used to the video updates now I look forward to them. Folks don't realize what making lefts and rights really involves. Symmetric when it's done is sometimes a lucky bonus. Looks great, carry on. Very Happy

Did you calculate the driveshaft angle? It’s important. Yours looks a bit too straight.
