There has been a small hiatus in build proceedings, since Alan figured out that the engine is so big and thirsty, that he wasn't going to get enough fuel through the lines supplied with the kit. Whoops! So, he spent some time researching fuel lines and figuring out what he needed. Then he ordered the lines, and the necessary pipe bending tools etc.
He was able to make a bit of progress this weekend. In the picture below, you're looking straight down through the back end of the car. You can see the gas tank on the left, with some flexible hose leading to the hard stainless steel line that runs under the chassis, up to the engine bay. Alan had all sorts of fun and games bending the steel tube. He also had to flare the tube ends to fit into the shiny red and blue anodised connectors, which was also hard work. Stainless steel is tough stuff.
Alan has yet to finish attaching the line to the length of the chassis, and then he has the brake lines to do. We are hoping they might not be as tough since they're made of thinner tube. We will see.
