It is so much easier to fabricate new fuel lines and hydraulic lines when you have the originals to use as a pattern...easier but not easy. Fabricating the new lines with the "close" bends of the originals was a bit time consuming, but not impossible. The photo to the right shows the new fuel line connections to the fuel pump. The copper lines extend from the fuel tank to the fuel pump and from the pump to the engine.
The line connecting the fuel pump to the carburetors is shown in the photo to the left. After bending the new line to conform to the original, fitting it to the original clips on the car's frame required only minor adjustments.
The hydraulic brake lines will be installed next.
Stay tuned,
Tom McCurry
