Honestly I was going to install them but these wouldn't have looked so good so I opted not to install them vs. going too far from the OOB them. I already kinda busted that rule but didn't want to push it any further.
Thanks for the good word Paul.

Oh man, that thing is a SCREAM! LOL! What a magnificently sensational little model! I love it! Man, I can't wait to see the modded one get finished.
Here's hoping 2017 sees you and your wife in full health and prosperity. I hope to see many more incredible models from your workbench.

Thanks Mark! Believe me, I'm going to be going super slow on the modded bus. I definitely don't want to screw that one up!

LOL! Patience is key with stuff like this alright.
Moving ahead with gathering parts for the engine and trying to figure out a suitable seating arrangement. Still working on the seating but have gathered some of the parts I'll need for the engine / turbo lubrication and fuel delivery.
Most of what I'll need is here but still have some other items in bound.
Fuel/ Oil lines and fittings:
a little closer look at the 90 degree anodized fittings :
