Added polished aluminum fuel lines from RB Innovations.

And since none of it will ever see fuel or the light of day unless its through a window it will all stay nice and pretty, LOL!!!!! but he will have to polish the tank to mirror like finish before installing it. If he decides to get it...but it does look nice with the new fuel lines...
 
Now...You need a full custom nylon roll cage, to protect all that INVESTMENT...Go to : www.ma1n5t.com...

lol...looks very tidy, nice job
 
Pretty cool looking. I didn't even know they made metal fuel lines :wtf:

At this point you might as well just buy metal tires and a metal body, though. lol
 
Nylon!

Are you crazy?!
:whhooo:

My thought, exactly. He's apparently out of his tiny little mind.

The tank is WAY to expensive, and I've already invested in the alloy lid and a tank guard, but the guard is now off for "Maintenance". :D

I spent the better part of an entire day trying to locate a tube bender for 3/16. I had 5/32, and everything above 3/16.
Once I got a multiple sized bender for $20 it only took about 3 hours to shape and mount them.
 
most likly imma rob rolex's house sometime in the near future... watch out for fat italians sneaking around your house at night!!!!
 
Which coil? The tube is 3/16, or 0.186.
If you mean the Tool, its 1 1/2". I would have liked a tighter radius, but the other auto tool was 2 1/4.

yeah, I meant the tool. When I do mine I wanted to coil my fuel line a little for some added lid time and also just to look cool. I guess I could just look for something to turn it around though.
 
You get some serious added lid time with the aluminum lines just because of their ID vs the silicone lines.
There's a bending plier for 3/16 for about $30, and it seems that it would do tight radius turns.
