    O.K. guys after all your "kind words" I decided to bend a hard line from the fuel pump to the carbs. Take a look and let me know it this looks better.

    That looks killer. Solid, clean, and most importantly - safe.
    Good work.

    John, That hard line looks a lot better. I like it. You might consider a support off the front intake bolt to help with the vib/flex you'll be getting....H

    H,
    Do you think it will need a bracket? It's pretty rigid.

    I think a better term would be support. While at a yearly springtime safety inspection I noticed that this was a area that the inspectors looked at. It looks good and rigid but when driving it will vib there and sooner or later may cause a things to loosen up or poss crack a line. Also have seen carb inlets to waller out and leak. I was thinking just a small support off the ft intake bolt similar to a battery cable support would do the job. Looks Great...H

    Nick, I did find one here in town. The same store let me carry home 30 radator hoses and didn't even count them when I left. Found the 2 that would work and returned the rest. I normally walk behind the counter and look for what I need...it pays to live in a small town. Out here in BFE.

    Thats awesome. I dont trust anyone that comes in Advance. I need a button on the computer that automatically looks up every part for 90's lincoln town cars. :rolleyes: Ive been there a week and Ive seen a guy drive off with tools we let him borrow in the parking lot.

    Anyways. Your car is looking great. Cant wait till the HAMB drags!

    That looks much better. As far as being rigid enough. I dont think you need a brace or supprt on this. I restored my dads nova and the fuel line on it goes straight from the pump to the carb with no support and this is the way it left the factory.
