No question, do it. Seriously doubt you would regret putting it in, but could regret not doing it.
If the like button would allow multiple hits, I would run out of screen space. Super stoked for this build!!!

Master cylinders all mounted with remote Reservoirs, pedals set, fitted the dash. The dash was literally in and out 30 times today to get right lol.fuse panel set (screws are temp)Next all lines😫 . I really wish I knew how to make time lapse videos for each process I feel it would be a lot better than the pics. I’m gonna try to make a YouTube video watcha think? Gimme feedback lol
