Well I finally broke down and ordered some Koul Tools. My hands look like they've been through a grinder and I got 5 out of 24 ends installed... Gah. I hate hose ends. Worse is hose ends + cold.

Oh and I ordered EVEN MORE FRICKIN FITTINGS AND HOSE!!

I've spent more on hose, fittings, and hose ends than I have on the pan and the twin filter setup from AMS oil...

sorry for the late reply...

To be honest, I don't mind the snow as much as I mind the unheated garage

Ok, now I mind the cold. The one living in my head since last Thursday.

Boy it's hard to make braided lines when the rubber inside the hose is cold!

The Koul Tools are working like a charm though.

I just had an idea... Maybe I'll bring the hoses in until I'm ready to assemble them -and leave the fittings in the cold... WOOOOOO I'm a genius

I need to pull a couple of exhaust parts to ship across country for an examination of the faulty coating and get my stuff recoated (yep, every singe piece except 3... quality work there

)

Hoses = preheat and bake at 400* for 20 minutes

Fittings = stick in the freezer

Me = just kidding.

looks great man and should run like a bat outta hell. one gripe though, you wasted time and money on those bullet mufflers. the turbos are the mufflers, no need for any more. your preference, i guess. good luck on finishing it up
