  INSTALLED! finally got the fuel lines on. They took a little tweaking, but I got them on. I'm most likely going to tweak a little more, but here are some good shots. There are more pics in my gallery...









This will be the feed side...

  Yea, I know the frame has like an inch of dust on it, because it's taken me so long  ::). I painted the clips blue, because beleive it or not, the OE clips had the remains of blue paint on them! However when the new lines came in, I was to lazy to paint the clips they came with  :P

adding that extra fuel line next to the OE fuel and brake line was a pain in the a$$. It was pre-bent, but it was meant to fit in a certain spot, and I was forcing it to fit just outside where it was meant to be. Sounds easy, but it wasn't. Thats why I'm probably gonna have to tweak it some more 'cuz I'm anal like that   ::)

Looks great. Fuel lines don't look bad but I understand the sickness about everyting being just right. Keep up the beautiful work.

   If I haven't said it already, a big thanks to all the guys at Restore a Muscle car. They've helped me out a whole bunch, and I kinda wish I found them before I ever started my project. So many things I would've done different Grrrrrrrrr... oh well. I'll get some pics up shortly of the new fuel lines ON THE CAR!

  Tell me about it! I can't tell you how many times I've stood there, staring at the car for how ever long, saying to myself- what would look better?  ::)

ok, some photos of the fuel line work. The rubber push style fuel hoses are horrible to work with. extremely difficult to push on the AN fittings, but i got it...
