Finally finished rerouting all the brakes lines. It was very time consuming making these brakes flares
Video coming up later tonight.

The windshield is now removed so I can have an easier access for paint. The crusty 25 years old molding was pretty bad, which will be replaced during the assembly process.
Youtube of this process coming up real soon.
