I have a couple of things to mention here. From my past posts on this subject, I just finished replacing all three fuel lines on my 72 without pulling the body off all the way. It can be done, but it wasn't easy or a lot of fun. Took lots of patience, time, gentle bending and straightening, but in the end, the results were pretty good. Thanks to a great friend who helped, and a lift to get the car onto and some creativity it took about 5 hours to do both sides. We did lift the body up one side at a time about 3-4 inches to get better access, but not completely off the frame. The 3/8" supply line was the most difficult because it was harder to snake and bend. Worst part was straightening the shipping bend out to get it snaked thru the frame crossmember and over the riser.
Secondly, be very careful who you get your replacement line clamps from. I'm on my third source to find the correct zinc plated clips. Volunteer sent me some funky, chromate painted, split wierd looking clips, Paragon now has clips that appear to be dichromate plated (gold/green tint), and I won't know if the Zip clips are correct until I get home Friday. Both Volunteer and Paragon specify the clips in their catalog are correct for the 70-72 and show photos of the correct clips, but they are not close to what I received.
Thanks to all that posted to my previous questions.
