That looks just like the 350 that I saw yesterday on a stand in my brother in laws garage. Great work!

Thanks fellas.
I did a lot of work on the carburetor this weekend. I did NOT like how the carburetor finish was turning out so I stripped all the parts back off of it and dropped it in some brake fluid overnight. After that I re-primed it with semi gloss black and shot an enamel based coat of chrome silver and gold mix and let that dry overnight. I installed some fuel lines made from a straight pin and drilled holes into the carburetor in which to mount the dual feed assembly. I topped that off with an anodized fuel fitting from RB Motion and will be running braided fuel line from there on down to the fuel pump. I reinstalled the PE throttle lever back onto the throttle shaft made from a smaller pin and brushed a light coat of Tamiya Smoke onto the whole carburetor to bring out all the details.
I'm MUCH happier with the outcome:
