Fitted the two frontmost body panels so that I could do the brake lines properly.

Here's another view. Didn't use the Westfield supplied brake pipes in steel for several reasons: 1) Steel means you cannot re-bend it when forming it 2) it rust from both inside and out should a small stone chip the paint and 3) it is much harder to form and I would have had to make changes anyway since I'm using two mastercylinders instead of the "standard" one master cylinder.
