Wow, engine bay looks amazing. Is the hose for the overflow coolant kinked?

Absolutely the cleanest bay I've seen in a while…everything hidden that should be hidden and anything that should be seen is dressed to kill. Very nice.

Been following your build thread for awhile and BEAUTIFULLY done as expected/seen I must say. Love the attention to detail, you give people like me the motivation to step outside my box and go big! I would change one thing though, pull that ABE sticker off the radiator plz.
