The biggest change is the completion of the hoses in the hose bed. I think I must have used about $20 in super glue to get them all in there.

That's about it for now. Enjoy the photos.

Hey, those hoses look great...what'd you use for those? And the brass fittings too?{not that I could use those for my build, but hey, for future reference}

Thanks for the compliments.

Matt, that's exactly right. Just use aluminum tube instead of brass for newer lines.

Some of those guys are really good. It's kind of scary.

It's done!!! I actually had by doubts that this day would come. It just seemed that I was
constantly finding more details to add. Guess I had to draw the line somewhere,
and I'm happy with the results.

Enjoy, I know I did. It was a fun, educational build.

















And for those of you going, this WILL be at Fulton.

Thanks. Glad you like it. Too bad the pictures came out so blurry.
