Need some install feedback please

I figured today that I would do some hardline work to my plate kit. The plate is for a dual setup, but I am only running a single stage right now. Please take a look at the pics and let me know if anything looks bad/good or correct/incorrect. Thanks for any inouts you can provide

I tried to space out the lines so I wouldn't have sharp bends, but I probably could get the lines shorter. I guess I'll go back to the drawing board tomorrow. Thanks for the input, Mike.

It looks pretty. All though there could be many things wrong with your setup, or none at all. Those pics really dont help anyone decide if something was done improperly.

I was mainly concerned with the lenghts between the noids and the plate, which I got feedback on. Other than that the setup isn't complete.

Well after some feedback, I reworked the fuel side of the plate system tonight. The total line length is 14". Nitro Dave said that he would reccomend staying under 24", so I should be safe.

Just a small tubing bender. You can also get those at Harbor Freight.

I'm only trying to help. Just thinking about the future. He's already done it twice now probably doesn't want to have to do it too many more times.

I planned on doing a second stage when I bought the plate, but in the meantime I've bought a new 99 roller so all my plans for this car have changed. No more race car for this one, just a weekend cruiser. Thanks for the input though.
