I have a spool of copper/nickel line that i used to run new fuel lines on the 1930 canopy. i was under the car this morning before work looking it over. simple run along hte fuel rail with a few clamps inline holding it down. should NOT be that hard to run a new line to the front. i know the copper nickel is NOT as flexible as the copper line. only fun part would be going through the hole in the frame rail bracket. will require bending and straitening the line as i pull it and run it.

i was looking at replacing it all together, have a coil of 5/16" steel from Inline that i used to do the fuel lines on my 1930. 

was wondering if it went through that hole from the factory or up in the webbing against the frame ?!? if through the hole, then need a grommet like you said to avoid chafing !!

been busy with work so not much time on the car. but took some time the other morning to replace the studs in the exhaust manifold for the exhaust pipe, and reinstall the studs for the intake manifold.

ended up having to soak the 2 exhaust pipe studs, and broke one off. had to drill it out and then chase the threads, that was a slow process, but wanted to make sure i did not destroy anything. 

all ready to go back together and get bolted to the engine.

pulled out the old fuel line tonight

will be installing a new one, steel line one piece from tank to fuel pump following the original Chevrolet Factory Routing (really close anyways)

you can see some corrosion on the coper line, had to cut it to remove it since it was routed through the crossmember vs around.

measured it out, was approx 113" for the main run, then 26" for the piece from the fuel pump to the carburetor

working on the fuel line, using the old copper line work on the routing of the new one. figure out the bends.

more that i get into that i realize there is practically no way to put this line in without removing the brake cross shaft assembly. really hard to route the line over the cross shafts and under the battery tray arms.

Few picts of the new line straightened out. and my cheat sheet of there it runs and the line hold downs are located in the frame.

used the old copper line to layout a few options for routing the NEW line, also to serve as a template/guide for bending the NEW line

Steel is a LOT less forgiving then the copper is
