I finally got the brakes hooked up and bled (I HATE BRAKE LINES) all I need now is to run the fuel line and then bolt the body on and all the little stuff

What is everyone using for fuel lines?

 

[rooster57]

I picked up two 3/8 stock lengths from napa 3 foot each and offset it to go up the kickup and braided to the carb and rubber line to the tank.

What Rooster57 said.
You can use an inverted flare tool, by stopping short, to creat a "barb" on the rubber line end of the hard line. then your rubber line won't come off and burn all your work to the ground.

#8 Stainless steel braided hose. A good option is the 3/8 or 1/2 aluminum fuel line that Summit, Jegs, Speedway and everyone else has in 20 foot rolls. It is pretty cheap too

I used stainless brake and fuel lines on mine. Never do it again. It looked pretty but it was a pain to flare.

the 3/8 line i got from NAPA was 2 three foot lenghts and it had fittings on both ends so i just put a 3/8 coupling on each end and the middle and inatalled a barb for the tank and my AN fitting for the line to the carb
