I UPDATED MY WEBSITE!!!!!

Thanks Kirsten!

I was thinking that stainless lines would be excellent.
So much better than mild steel... well, except for the fact
that SS is possibly much more difficult to bend.  Did you
have any complaints bending the tubing?  I imagine you
need a tube bending tool of some kind.

I am actually going to be replacing the lines entirely,
so I was thinking of getting an adapter for the fuel pump
to get to -6AN... then from there maybe a short braided
stainless line to the hard line up to the front of the
car.  Hmmm... I'm just having the hardest time finding
one continuous length of tubing (10 feet or so) to get
all the way from the pump to the front...

Again, thanks for the info... I like hearing as many ideas
as possible.  :)
