Did I mention how much I hate to build braided stainless lines 
The larger ones aren't that bad, but building -4 lines royally suck
car is 50% plumbed...still have quite a bit more go go...but should have that done by Friday. Ordered new front and rear tires and will get those mounted and balanced Saturday.
installing a shorter transmission shift cable too. the one provided with the shifter was 5' long and had to be "S" bent to fit under the car. Changing out to a 3' cable.
These little tedious things take forever to finish

I had alot of hose laying around that I reused. I like the stainless due to the higher engine bay temps.
Getting the -4AN into the little end cap is a bitch.

Brian,
Great work! I have read all 1000 posts! Am looking to cut out my mild-steel roll-bar and doing a 4130 cage. I like the looks of your cage. Who's did you start with? Or is it your own design? Enjoy the upcoming shake-down runs!

It runs 
Didn't take a video since there is a yet to be determined issue causing it to idle very fast (2000 rpm). I still haven't located any vacuum leaks...
It definately sounds pissed off though
Scaled it yesterday too....3280 lbs with me and all my safety gear. Only issue is that its pretty freaking light on the nose (51.8%)
