Hey don't you have chrome braided hose covers. Where did you get them? That's next and then the hydraulic arms when I buy more paint.

Thanks guys, it was slow meticulous work, but it paid off.

I used Plasti-Kote touch up spray and covered it in Clear-Kote spray. Since the cover is plastic, I am sure the heat won't be a problem or else the plastic would melt.

Absolutely - definitely want braided steel hoses, and blue (or red ) vacuum hoses and wire looms! But adam, we need headers
