HUH?   That's my response John on how in the heck you do it.  I hope to see this one someday too.  Gorgeous model.  Thanks Chris too for pointing out the fuel line.  Like all your builds John,  you can just soak it all in and still miss something cool.  Always fun to revisit your threads.   Cheers !!!

O M G !!  John - that is truly outstanding at every point in this build. With the Alclad, fabrication, wild paint, wire spokes, functioning lights and everything else, you continue to outdo yourself, if that's even possible.
