Finally something to report on this car. I finally got back to work on it a little bit. I've also been trying to hammer out the order from RB motion for the A/N fittings, rod ends, valve stems, and spark plugs. I took a spare head cast that I had and drilled it for the brass rod I am using for the turbo headers. Brass was chosen because of the following reasons:

1. I like bending it much better than I do plastic.
2. It can be soldered together for a much stronger joint (IMHO)
3. I didn't trust just plastic to support the weight of the resin turbo's and piping that will be hanging off of them.

The first 3 photos are of the scale piece, the last is of the 1:1 I am using for reference.
