C2 Rubber & Metal Gas Line
 
I have a '64 Coupe that I'm taking out of storage and getting running again (had it running today for the first time in 30 years!).

As part of that process I'm replacing the rubber tubing parts of the gas line from the gas tank all the way up to the carb. I see rubber tubing from the gas tank to the beginning of what I think is a solid metal tubing. My guess is that metal tubing runs from the rear of the car all the way up into the engine bay. I'm replacing that short piece of rubber tubing at the rear of the car and the rubber tubing from the fuel pump to the fuel filter to the carb, but I need to know is there is other rubber tubing anywhere else in the line from the gas tank to the carb, such as under the car, that I don't know about or can't see. Want to get rid of all the old rubber tubing—I already found that it had split in one place.

it should be a short rubber hose from the gas tank to the fuel line. then from the fuel line to the fuel pump. from the fuel pump to the carb should be a hard steel line

Can the rubber tube from the metal gas line to the fuel pump be reached from the engine bay, of do I have to make a trip under the car?

Take off the right front tire and you can deal with the forward rubber line..

If you have a high horsepower 64 there’s also a rubber hose from the fuel filter to the carburetor. 365 hp.
