I'm still waiting for you to show me your trick for cutting braided hose.
Thanks. I'm looking forward to it too. That first burnout is going to be very joyous or very detrimental.

Ridiculous build man, and awesome fab work! Giving me some great encouragement to do mine like I plan to.
I only have two questions....your fuel tanke setup is all aluminum, correct? If it is, are you not worried about the E85 corroding the aluminum? I didn't think you could use an aluminum tank with E85, because it would cause extreme corrosion. Isn't that why manufacturers use plastic and stainless?
If I am wrong, that just means I learned something new.
Keep up the excellent work!

I'm a big fan of a large extremely sharp chisel, a 5# hammer, and an anvil for cutting braided SS hose. Super clean cut, zero fraying, and no shavings/dust to worry about contaminating your system.

I will buy a quality AN hose cutter for the next project. I had a cheap one years ago that sucked. I've been using a cut off wheel with good results for the last few projects, but I don't like taking the time to clean out the lines every time.
I've tried the chisel thing several times and I can't get it to work well at all. The koul tool makes assembly much easier. Well worth the money.
