Wanted a clean look for the fuel line and did just a straight shot from tank to carb through the blower housing and hid the fuel filter behind it (the fuel line is just for mock up and will be fitted correctly and zip tied later), also had to do a transition in fuel line sizes from the tank outlet to the carb....new 1/4'' ID silicone fuel line ordered but only had orange for picts.
Made a cradle gaurd for peace of mind as the filter is pretty close to the flywheel
Took the old Honda sticker off and will just replace it with diamond plate thet will be rivited through to hold the filter gaurd in place (might drill some holes in gaurd for air flow)

Hello JDogg !
This is the first time I've read all the way through your project log. I wanted to compliment your fabrication skills, and your use of wood. That is so cool....and looks like it is meant to be there...you know...both the frame filler, and the clutch guard.
So many times when you see diamond plate, it looks 'dangerous', like someone just... 'stuck' it on there...yours however looks like it's supposed to be there...integral to the design, with that 'recessed look' in the wood, and the way with your engine tag, you not only cut to size, but then bent the metal to the correct radius shape to fit your engine shroud.
Keep up the good work !
