For sure, Close to 40 bucks per Fitting depending on which manufacturer. One thing that you could do to minimize cost in lines is to use Aluminum tubing versus braided. That would significantly reduce the cost for the main fuel line runs under the car . Although I have not see 3/4 inch aluminum tubing that can be easily bent up .

And that 2035 is the bomb

I did the cost difference of hardline vs pro classic. It was within $75. By the time I made mount plates and spent time flaring its a wash IMO. On the smaller stuff its a more noticeable savings and the reason I have aluminum hardline on the car now.

I actually found a 2035 locally that was recently rebuilt by weldon for half price. Are these something dependable to buy used?

I am sure if it was rebuilt with weldon components, it would be fine. Contact Kinsler in Michigan, they do all kinds of fuel injection stuff and have the ability to test pumps amongst other things, if you need additional verification.

Just finished the fueling in my evo with Hardline -8 feed and -6 return , pro lite for the flexible sections, but it is a minor system upgrade comparatively.

I can vouch for Kinsler... they are 2 miles from my house. Badass fuel place.

I work 11hrs at work and have been busy every night this week trying to get everything knocked out. Fitted all the interior, pulled it back out, bagged, prepped and painted the cage. Hoping to get a bunch more knocked out this weekend so I can put the interior back in after a week of curing

I miss the days when you posted pictures from your Canon SLR with the wideangle opposed to instagram....

Looks great Wheatley! Can't wait to see the finished product inside.

I probably had the dash in and out 20 times. The carpet also has to be folded and fed through the d bars and the hoop from back to front. Its a challenge.

Finally have a minute to update the build with real pictures.

I picked the car up from Fatfab on the 5th of April after it being away from home for 6 weeks. It's only the second time it has ever been away and the last being at the same place for fab work. The guys did a great job with the cage, seat mounts etc and worked really hard to try and meet all of my request. I've had a lot of time over the last week to really check the cage out and I'm very impressed with some of the little things they did such as allowing my visors to remain installed, door to bar fitment, the halo is tucked in such a way that my head doesn't hit getting in or out etc etc. I feel that for a cage in a street evo that this is one of the best I have ever experienced.

They also made seat brackets to firmly mount my kirkeys to the car and the cage. I wanted it as low as possible to allow clearance getting in and out without adjusting the steering wheel and wanted to retain all of my factory interior. They are very very solid and turned out great.

All week I've been modifying the dash, carpet and misc other trim to fit around the cage. Its all very very tight. I'll have photos of all that next week once the cage has a chance to fully dry.

I have several other upgrades going in over the next weeks and have spent the day today making an aluminum battery mount in between my sons naps. I want it to be able to hold my lithium battery but also be able to hold a deka or pc680 in case this lithium should fail and I need a battery in a pinch.

Thanks! I picked a poor night to be spraying it. It was 55 degrees with 80% humidity, it was a challenge with some spots not being to my liking but I can't put another coat on for another 7 days anyways.

Completed my new battery mount tonight with exception of welding which should be tomorrow and also made my quick release bumper mounts. Hoping to have the exhaust started and tacked tomorrow.
