          My flock job is less than stellar, it had been sitting for like 2 years and got all piled up, plus it's more of a tan and I thought it would be gray. On a plus note I'm really excited about the AEM dash. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

              I redid the dash flocking, I wasn't happy with it but I am now. If anyone else is doing it I recommend using a black enamel paint as the "glue" it works quite well and gives you more working time.

                  Yessir I just reused the return line that was already there and plumbed it to a bulkhead connector. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

                        that's awesome, looking so clean. the motor seems to be much more upright compared to an m20 which looks cool. hows the shifter location

                            I modified the coolant neck (don't mind the welds, I'm a novice aluminum welder and it was shitty) and got a power steering reservoir. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk
