reproduction fuel line replaceement... Experiences

[hemi68charger]

Hey gang..

The time will be coming soon in which I get my '68 Charger R/T back from the body shop..... My BIGGEST fear is the dang complete fuel line replacement from front to rear..... What are ya'lls experiences with this..... Am I asking for trouble having the rear leaf springs and rear end installed?.........  I don't look forward to this aspect of the restoration.......

Troy,

I did mine and it was not that bad.  Of course, I have a 4 post lift but honestly, I thought I would have more trouble than what I did.  I think it took me like an hour and a half and that was with painting the are behind the fuel line and taking my time.

i just ran a second fuel line on my 3rd gen Charger and it was pretty easy. Did it with the car on the ground. Only thing i will suggest, as i did, is to jack up the passenger rear and take the wheel off. Should go on rather easily. Hope this helps

In my opinion, the rear leaf spring and the rear end will make it a bit harder.  I recently replaced mine, and it was a pretty good challenge.  I was lucky enough to get it up in the air on a lift, that helps a ton.  I also think where you buy your lines and how accurate they are made makes a BIG difference.  Also, if you are replacing with stainless steel lines, or factory lines.  The stainless lines will look great forever but are a little harder to bend and fit, the otheres will age with time and are easier to bend.  You might look at a company called Fine Lines if you have not already bought your lines.  Good fit, and a pretty good reputation for quality product.  That is just my opinion based on my experiences
