~PHASE 2~

                         At this point everything is now painted and dry. Its time to put

                         on the accessories and hoses to complete the restoration.

                         I leave the fender coverings on untill the very end. This is

                         incase I drop a tool or rub a zipper up agianst something.

                          When the motor is this far apart is best to just go new with

                          hoses and not waste your time with older ones. Once there

                          off your half way to replacing them anyways.

                            With everything now back together its time to fill fluids and

                            check for any loose ends.

                             Taking your time to route wiring and hoses cleanly

                             can make a huge difference when it comes to the final

                             appearance of an engine.

                             And there you have it, the final result of 2 weeks worth of

                             after-work sessions.
