Sidepipes!
Cant mount them of course til I get the engine and headers in place, but I couldnt resist clamping one on to see what it will look like. The pipes are Shell Valley.

Brake Lines
Close-Up shot of brake line running up left frame rail. To help shield it from exhaust heat, I put a section of fuel line hose around the brake line, then covered it in corrugated tubing to make it look a little better.

Paint
Heres a few things that were cleaned up and painted. Once dry and cured, everything was scuffed using a scotch-brite pad then clearcoated with Glisten PC from POR-15 to protect the paint and give it a nice shine.
