Default 69 Small Block Pre Bent Stainless Fuel Line Install with Body On?

Hi

I am about to put the fuel lines in, they are the stainless prebent (pre bent) lines and some people say it cannot be done, others say you have to cut and splice the lines, others say you can indeed slowly get the lines in as a one piece unit.

Please advise, any helpful hints would be appreciated. I would rather not have to cut the lines, but will if I have to...I definitely am not going to take the body off.

Thanks, Tim

I have tried with the car on jack stands.....cant be done
Maybe on a lift ?..... but I still doubt it

The problem is the area where the frame kicks up by the rear floor pan
Worth a try everyone gets different results!

Good deal! I was hell bent on not cutting them, I did and messed on up!
So I went plan B flex line high pressure

Yeah, came out decent, looks pretty good, so the tank will go in next.

I see you live nearby Bruce, what year do you have?
