Looks great!!

They can be hard to make sometimes but worth the work in the end.

looking good Sean, did you get the fittings for going to the little spring clips from upr? Do you like the way they work.

This is somthing I plan to do when I start on my coupe.

I picked up the hose & all fittings from Jack, not sure where he gets the adapters. I've seen some other adapters on e-bay that I liked better after getting these, can't find the link though. I would recommend going with them as they appear to be true spring lock couplers whereas mine had two machined alum halves that keep the adapter seated to the stock lines.

GEEZEEEE 5150 LX!!!! I could eat off of that paint finish under the hood of your car!

That was many hours of welding, grinding, applying filler, sanding, and numerous screw ups throughout the process. My first coat of primer came out textured like powdercoat, had to wet sand down, reshoot and so on. It's not perfect as I painted in my garage but not bad considering. Should get the bay finished up here in the next couple weeks, need to make up some alum. panels to cover upper portion of firewall and both aprons (?? not sure if that is the term).

I've got a nearly new set of TFS Street heads, will be upgrading the springs and possibly a port job down the road. Will be running the TFS Stage II cam.

Intake side is a TFS Track heat, 70 mm T-body, 80 mm Pro-M & a Morpheus pipe.

Looks good. Mind if I ask why you didn't run the braided line all the way back to the tank?

Can't afford to spend the $1100-1200 for a full fuel system, I've only got a little over $300 in this set-up. Will probably upgrade to a fuel cell in time.
