Started on the battery cables this morning by adhering the terminal ends to the cable. Will be routing the cables first and then painting after all the bends are finished.

That is some serious goin ons, there. Amazing detail.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

LOL! Thanx guys.

I'm a little bit everywhere in the engine compartment right now. I'm not quite happy with the battery cable terminal ends and am in search of a more realistic looking part for them. So in the meantime I started working on something I could do something with. The master cylinder and brake lines:

I'm still on a search for something one notch up for those terminals. We'll see if something surfaces fairly soon.

In the interim , I did some more work on the master cylinder and brake lines today. Still gotta form and install the vacuum hose for the power brake booster but here's today's progress.
