All the front end plumbing is done. This thing has more AN fittings and braided line then Earls does in its warehouse! And for kicks as we waited for fittings, we threw on the Rotora GIAGANTOR brakes. Better photos coming soon.

well when you do a lot of one/of and custom works, it tends to take time.
