The lines come out right by the drivers side torsion frame horn and go up to bulkhead fittings on the firewallImageImageImageImage

It was a total pain in the a$$ had to make cut down wrenches and got multiple cuts on my hands and wrist. I used to run them down the channels but they hung lower than the pan do to my rear air lines taking up space in the channels. Not that I really care about youtube trolls but omg I got more flack about my fuel lines than anything else. At least I can say it's done and I won't have to mess with that again

Got the hinge and latch glassed in. It's only my 3rd time doing fiberglass and I think it turned out killer. It still needs to be bodyworked and painted but it's a good start. I trimmed a descent amount off the top and was able to put a washer and nut on the inside of the fiberglass and it looks better than that lip sticking up. Next up I'm welding flanges to the slip joints on the header and have to re route one of the primary pipes away from the apronImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Thank you Clonebug, it won't be as quick as your turbo buggy but I'll have fun looking at your boost loading sign if we ever meet up :)
