Haha nothing on that build was by coincidence :D
All kidding aside thanks for the kind words and yes I did try to align all flat head and Phillips heads.

Thanks for the kind words Paul. You are lucky to have a wife that would browse through 22 pages of a Cruiser build!
Paul explained the process pretty well above. However I found with the yellow fuel line I used that the outer diameter of the tubing was slightly less than OEM so I had to used...
After I wrapped up this build I was coerced by my father in to helping him finish building his new house. It was only supposed to be a month or so which turned into 4, in the end though it was nice to take a break from Cruisers. It really helped get my batteries recharged for the SWB...
