Tranny lines converted to AN (a very tedious task, thanks RRYDE!)

Its done for now, but we all know there is no such thing as done.
Future plans are to powdercoat my sway bars and paint my core support.

That looks great Marcus. Simply beautiful!
How much stress is on the line from the thermostat to the lower radiator? I was going to do that one when I did my upper but was afraid of the stress from bending a braided line that far. Did you use a 90-degree adapter or anything at the bottom?

That is an OEM hose that I sleeved, just like the bypass hose next to it.

LOL
Now that I go back and look I can tell. The Earl's clamps at the end help throw it off a lot.
I need you to do mine. I tried to do that and it came out like crap so I took it off. Awesome work as always Randy!
