That is a very daunting amount of wiring, considering I've never used a soldering iron in my life. Nice work!

Are those ISO or SAE flares on the brake lines? My 2003 Marauder uses ISO (bubble) as do most cars since about 1995. By the way Ni copper is THE way to go no more cracking botched flare ends like with steel lines. OEM for Volvo if I'm not mistaken. Exciting build!

My brake lines use the double flare. 

I agree, the Nickle/copper tubing is great.

Time to ask the forum for some suggestions.  I am getting close to getting this thing to a roller.  I need some suggestions (inspiration) for some wheels, thoughts?

What are the lug bolts, offset ect.?

Because... the stock Model 3 wheels with those Turbine covers would actually look neat on it in my opinion.

The bolt pattern is 5x120.  I am looking for an offset of around +50 but have some flexibility
