started making my fittings and lines. i will use fittings from different manufacturers and i will be making some of my own. i started by drilling some .125" brass tubing. using a #32 bit and going to a .125" depth. then i parted them off at .250". the counterbore willl let the rubber tubing fit in the brass while leaving the other end capable of holding the metal tube.

Dave... everytime tou post and update you always leave me wanting more. That oil pump is so killer and nice. Love the plumbing you created as well. I always admire your work and it makes me keep trying to step up my own building another notch. Looking forward to seeing what you next on this build.

Dave... I completely understand about jumping around to something different to keep it fresh and to help you not get burnt out on it. I know I am starting to feel burnt out on these Air Dams on the F/C body and have been debating on pulling my 1/16th scale Front Engine Dragster that I started over 17 years ago and painted right before I started the F/C to get some more work done on it and give me a change of pace from the this build I have been on for 3 years now.

i was really impressed with the ability of the printer on these. the fact you can read a word that is about .030" tall (maybe less), just amazes me. the decal is about 1/8" wide.
