SO, while I was waiting on my valve covers to be welded up, I got to thinkin. What can I do while I'm under here. So I covered the firewall in aluminum. It was a grand PITA, but I'm happy on how it looks.
-I added hose clamps for some new fuel lines that will run up the firewall and T at the top. I'm also going to redo my oil lines and clean up the filter/thermo bypass area. I had the fuel line, I could've run them, but the tank was full. I really didn't want to deal with 5-7 gallons of gas.
-I'm not very happy on how my hydro line for the clutch goes about getting to the slave cylinder. I insulated and made new brackets for it for now. A total redo is needed there, but for some other time.
-I also redid my breather box, soldering the seams this time, and venting said valve covers. I was still getting some oil past somewhere. I degreased the bottom of the engine right after this, so It'll be easier to see if I've made it better or not.
-Cleaned up the hydro lines, insulated them in hot spots, added grommets where they exit the firewall.
-Drilled a few holes in my oil filter bracket. Jus because.
