I love that feel of your car sitting on jack stands for months and when you put it on the ground again it feels like a toy! Your build looks awesome!

It's probably the most exciting part of the build. Trying to lower 4 jack stands really makes you wish you had a lift.

Thanks I appreciate it. It's slow progress but it's progress.

Hard oil line

Finished up the oil coolers with stainless hardline.

The coolers are connected to the thermostat hardline then from the thermostat to the engine with nylon braided.

Major props to my fabricator for coming through clutch with some top notch work as always.

Will get more pics tomorrow.

Hardline Season

More progress today.

Had a remote thermostat installed for the new oil coolers, it's mounted to the frame rail and connected with hardline. From the thermostat to the engine will be nylon braided hose.

The fuel pressure regulator has been mounted and is about 1/2 way done on the engine side. Hopefully this weekend I can bring her back home.

Very nice build man, loving the clean professional look!

I like the look of the hard lines to the coolers, hopefully they have enough flex to to not crack with vibration.

Hope all goes well getting her on the road!

From the engine to the thermostat will be soft nylon hose so that should kill most of the engine vibration. Just vibrations from the road and whatnot would affect it but that's just an idea. If it does crack, at least that means the engine is running and that's still a good thing lol. Nylon hose is easy enough. Build, break, repeat.
