I love the sport coupe. It's only a rat rod if you want to call it one. I tried to post yesterday about the gas lines but my computer malfunctioned and I lost it. A broken motor mount or a stray football or even a minor accident could create the ultimate flame job. My suggestion was to mount a fuel block on the back of the intake and run steel lines. A steel line from the fuel pump is a good idea too. The rubber line should be on the inlet side of the pump. if it breaks there it will leak some but it wont be spraying fuel everywhere. The fuel pump would also have to be mounted on the engine if you run a hardline to the fuel block.

I have a tri-power setup on my A roadster and would like the looks of three red plastic lines from a firewall mounted fuel block but for safety sake I'm using steel lines. The roadster is stuck in a back corner of the garage and is blocked in by a 66 Chevy I'm restoring. The Chevy has no engine or bumpers so it only moves when I can get help pushing it around. If I can ever get it out in the sunlight I'll post some pictures on this thread. It's come a long way since I posted the pictures of the mock up in my gallery but it doesn't look much different.
