He didn't have to. He's a dedicated scratchbuilder and wanted to. Looks good! Have you tried welding the brakeline tubing yet?

That will come later, though.

Basically to build this thing, I'll be brazing it.

Nice little pipe bender Ferno, makes very nice bends. Do you fill them with sand before you bend them?

You must be careful, because this is how it starts. Before you know it you'll be in a 20,000 sq. ft. facility with a chassis jig, mig & tig welders, lathes, vertical milling machines and small block Chevy's laying all over the place. :P
