My fuel line and fittings arrived from Jegs and was able to borrow a tubing bender and the Eastwood flaring tool from a buddy at work so learned how to bend up brakelines first. Roughly bent the brakelines up first to get an idea where I want to run them.
Then started flaring some scrap pieces of brakeline to learn how to use the flaring tool...took several tries to get the technique down...seems like I was not using enough leverage on the flaring tool arm at first..

Then flared the rest of the lines. I put a kink in the front line heading to the passenger side so ended up remaking that one but I think these will work pretty well.

The line next to the frame is the one for the rear brakes.
Then moved on to the fuel lines. Saw something in a build log here about using a piece of wire to figure out the line routing before actually bending up the lines so tried this with the fuel lines and I think this worked pretty well.

The first line seemed to work out pretty well so tried the second line the next day. Used a 3' piece of 3/4" angle iron in the bench vice as a sort of fixture to straighten the lines before bending them up- that worked pretty well.

The wire template is sort of visible on the ground
Fuel lines installed in the chassis...

With the engine and trans out of the frame, I took the opportunity to wash the engine and trans down.
