I do AGREE...trying to cover all 'bases' on an installation is best.
I am sure I can get the car in the shop and take photos. But usually I am not taking pictures of everything I do. I can not remember if I took photos and e-mailed them to my customer...but I will look.
I am actually 'spoiled' when I do these. The customer that I have done them for buys the 'kit' from HydraTech...so it is ready to bolt to the firewall. The only changes I do are the fittings are changed due to I do not want to use rubber hoses and regular hose clamps....I want better looking hoses and AN fittings.
Then I machine out custom hose holders so I can correctly route the hoses away from the LS exhaust and secure it to the frame These are being installed on resto-mods.

Well this is great news you have told me a few times in the past your stern policy on not posting pictures of your work for fears your ideas will be stolen but I believe you will find how much better it makes posts to include pictures very much worth it, Like the say pictures are worth a 1000 words.
I know it will mean a world to readers, most like me like to also "see" how it was done...
Many thanks!

You are simply amazing. You ask me in PM's (several times) to post photos... and in CONFIDENCE...I EXPLAINED to you that customers PAY ME for custom work and often times THEY do not want their ideas that I make a reality to be put out on the web. They are paying for it. You make me out to be something THAT I am not.
It has NOTHING to do with 'fears'....it is about RESPECTING my customer who PAID me to do work.
I see NOTHING is sacred with you. I guess 'PRIVATE message' means nothing to you. So for what it is worth...do not PM me again. Because IF you do not know when NOT to repeat something that someone wrote to you in a PRIVATE MESSAGE...I can not communicate to you in that manner.
I KNOW people who LOVE to see what I do ( gosh knows I would love to post what I do)....and a few of my good friends who are Corvette Forum members get to see what I do...BUT they also respect the dynamics in place and HOW it can effect me and my reputation and how 'confidentiality' is being protected.
And I guess because my posts are not full of photos all the time (like this one)...they must not be all that worth while.

I apologize for the confusion but you are mistaken,
I was tried and did get over zealous,
I was happy, I'm a picture person, my comment was made in support and encouragement of you posting pictures and was based on things you have posted in public when asked for pictures in the past.
one example,

Your reply #12 was longer but here is the excerpt part I am talking about.
Trust me this was a great lesson and I will take a huge step back.

And SORRY...I am not the type...not 'saying' that there is anything wrong with it...but for me...I choose to keep my creations I make personal for me and the owner of the car I am making them for. In many cases due to them being 'one-offs' where the owner is paying for all tooling and materials...there is a confidentially clause signed. It is up to the owner to post photos if they choose. And in a couple cases..and one here I know of on the forum where he posted his project and his idea got gobbled up by a large manufacture and now they took his idea and are making parts as far as I know.
