I like the glass filter bowl and fabricated fuel hard lines.
I like the plug wire holders. What are those? Are they hand made?
What kind of coating is that on the trans or is it just polished? Looks sharp!

I have a friend who has similar wire looms on his nailhead. They are made for the old Ford Flathead. I'd bet that if you googled flathead wire loom, you could come up with them or something very similar.

I love the attention to detail, I can't wait to have some more time so I can find all those little parts (or make them) and have my nailhead hopefully look even close to as good as yours one day.

Do you have any dyno numbers? The torque must be outrageous.

I can tell you put serious effort into that motor, good job.
