The fun part, getting the braided lines bent and glued down! The fittings are still loose at this point, so pay no attention to the fact they're really crooked!

Last update for tonight, I tried to get the fittings straightened up as best I could...gotta grab some thin Superglue! I also added the air cleaners to the engine, so it's ready to go!

that looks awesome mike, how about showing the guys a short tutorial on how you apply glue
your builds are very clean and i am very hard pressed to find a single glue mark

Guys, I don't do anything special to avoid glue marks, I just apply it carefully and hold my breath a lot!
I use Tamiya Extra Thin Cement because it has a nice brush in the bottle, and regular old Hobby Shop-labeled Superglue (The thick stuff because I got tired of glue marks everywhere!), but that's it, nothing fancy other than lots and lots of test-fitting and careful application.
And look carefully at the header, right where the new "cooling flange" was glued onto the header...that's a bit of excess glue that luckily kind of looks like a weld. I get lucky more often than not with stuff like that, I'm not that good!
