used my copper tube guides to bend and form the new steel line. slow and steady. measure & check twice then bend, then check again.

first bends were from the tank to the side frame rail.

then the long sweep bend to follow the frame rail over the axle/wheel.

you can see all my marks, approx every inch for a slow long gradual bend to follow the frame contour.

now to bend out and around the rear cross member this is where i used my second copper tube template, as i have to make sure i hit the line holder before and after the cross member and clear it.

now for a rough fit, see if everything lines up, not an easy task with a 12ft piece of tubing inside a small garage  snaking the line over the brake cross shafts, etc... but has to be done to adjust and fit.

used some twist ties to assist in holding it in place

the last bend i thought would be the easiest one, but turned out to be one of the roughest ones. a few tweaks and got it all bent and lined up to go out and over the front crossmember and line up with the hole for the clamp.

this puts the fuel line to the front of the car, plenty of spare line, once i get the engine in, then i can make the last few bends to get it to the fuel pump.
