APOGEE SKF Heirloom, i chose black chrome (nickle) and Red

 
 
Yes it's all mine  #0038

Wow, that's a nice one. That deserves full copper tubing, no plastic.

i was thinking like a smoke or black chrome, not sure on fittings or even were to get the tubbing for that

Well, the fittings shouldn't be too much of a problem, they have quick disconnects etc.... at home depot and lowes in copper, plastic etc... Pergformance pc's probably has a lot of that too but the tubing lengths you would maybe have to hit a supply house for any selection and decent pricing. I guess you could go pvc and paint it too, that might be cool. Its your project brotha, we trust ya. 

Guess i could aways have copper tubing sent out for plating, i know a place than can do it for a decent price

Yeah, that's a decent option too. Probably got a lot of bike guys down there that will do that for ya... maybe you can swap your pc enthusiast knowledge for some free plating?!?!?!

i wish, the company is in PA. would have to get all the bends done first then send the pieces up, about a two week turn around

This is going to be awesome when finished.

i hope so, dumping quite a bit of coin into this one 

Looks like a cylon, is it?

now i have this bad boy coming with a EK D5 G2 pump and some black chrome tubing from PPCS, provided they dont get blown away by irma

 what?

Lol, hes talking about the cylon bots from Battlestar Galactica, which hes kinda rite it does.

Kinda. If only the light went back and forth that would be cool

Excellent

let the building begin

Enjoy the build

these brass hard lines are no joke but they look sweet

deburring is fun
 
use very light pressure and a sharp wheel on your tubing cutter - you'll get less 'squeeze' to remove

That's the east part lol, I picked up a new reader and tube cutter, its the bends that I'm worried about, the alphacool tubes have pretty thick walls, 13mm OD 10mm ID, and there is one bend that needs done ( more like 2, it needs to dog leg from the pump out to the rad in). If I go the other way my return is a problem.

Sometimes, filling the tube with water before bending helps stop collapse in a bend (partially frozen)
 
A tube bender is very helpful little tool to have or borrow   Amazon link
 
beeswax is a good way to lubricate - but hard to remove - hand lotion & liquid soap work well enough

 thanks, i might try that, i have a double 45 that i might try and see how that looks, my ram is a little to tall and a bit in the way, to clear it i have a small dog leg at the radiator that i hope doesnt cause any issues with bleeding.
