Alright... can nearly see the light at the end of the tunnel on getting the body put back on my frame, and now have a question.

Before I put the body back on, I should reinstall the brake and fuel lines running along the frame rails in order to make life MUCH easier down the road. So my question is... what brake and fuel lines need to be installed prior to my putting the body back on the frame?

If I'm seeing things correctly... I need to install the front-to-rear brake line, the rear crossover brake line, the RH tank-to-pump fuel 'supply' line, and the fuel return line. The rest can be done later. Am I correct?

Thanks

That's correct, although it is easier to put them all on while the body is off. Much more room to work.

Do yourself a big favor and do all the lines with the body off the car. However, the long lines are the ones that are a real PITA. MUCH nicer to work on that sort of stuff with the body off the car.

Thanks for the input.

Probably have to postpone the short lines for budgetary reasons and deal with the headaches of that installation with the body on. But it looks to me like the installation of the 4 lines I listed above is nearly impossible with the body on, so I have to do that now. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss any lines now that are virtually impossible to do later with the body on.

Much cheaper to buy a kit with all of them than 1 at a time.

By the kit now or it will cost you alot more later.

Everyone has brake line kits, but I haven't had much luck finding fuel line kits.
