Paint job looks great. I'm a little concerned about the length of the fuel line
crossover. The line looks to be to long to clear the cowl.

Hey guys thanks a lot..
I will answer all questions and comment on all comments now...
As far as the paint, it was done with a HVLP gun...I tried my best to sand it smooth but there weere some VERY difficult areas...and I gave up..nevertheless it came out 99% smooth! Its fire engine red...

As far as sanding the FAST off, yeah right...not for what I paid hahah, I woudl like to paint it black though

I am also concerned about the length of the fuel line...we will see...when I install..if it is to long, I will cut it down...not a biggie...

I bought the NW TB used, and it came with the hole in it...I am hoping that it doesnt affect anything...I am running the MS3 cam, and some Eliminator heads when all is installed...I figure it'll be just right for sometrhing of this size!!

Keep the comments coming, all are welcome!
Erik
