Brake & Fuel Line Replacement
What is the best way to replace the fuel lines on a 75 vette? Does the body have to be lifted to get this done?
Does anyone have any special trickes or methods?

I can't imagine doing the fuel lines (3 of them) with the body on Maybe someone else has had some experience with this but my 75 had numerous clips securing the lines to the frame on both sides and there is no way to get a wrench in there for removal or replacement. I would recommend lifting the body and replacing your body mounts while you are in there. :smash:

I replaced all lines (brake and fuel) with the body on. It can be done!
I bought straight lines and bent to fit using old ones as a template.

You know, it's funny you should ask.... I just took both fuel lines out of my 75. It was a pain. Big pain. It should be possible to replace them without removing the body.

Sure, i'll admit it was a tedious job, but it wasnt a pita like my T-arm bolts.
only took a few hours
