He's right. That's kind of over simplified, but you can do it with your stock fuel lines and the only thing you will need is a hole saw and a new grommet to run them through. There is a nice detailed write up if you search for it. In my opinion, this is better than using braided line, because the plastic stuff lasts longer. I have run both steel braided line and pushloc hose on my old chevy and both deteriorate after only a few years. I think it's the methanol in all the gas that does it. If you really want to get creative, just shorten the stock lines and use new stock style ends. (There are parts available from Dorman to do this.) Most people just make a big loop with the extra length of the stock line and fasten it inside the inner fenderwell. Just make sure to use insulated clamps to fasten it so it doesn't rub through later.

I was looking at the car today and found a spot to make the hole to run the line, ill probley move the fuel lines this week to clean it up cause these line make the engine bay look not clean besides the dust already in the engine bay. Im goin to look into shorting the lines also cause if i could get away from looping the lines ill do it.

so this weekend I started working on my under hood harness cleaning up the wires and getting them ready to extend for the hood lights and few other things, took some pics for you all to see what I have done, I still need to clean up the headlight harness but I think it would be easyer to do that with it on the car and go from there, as for the fuse box It needs to go its just a rats nest and I like a newer box so Im still trying to figure out what Im goin to do there but I can get everything ready and done up until im ready for a fuse box. enjoy the pics.
