Which are you working on?

I'm working on an A Body--71 GT-37.

Unfortunately, I have already replaced the body mounts and did the rears by cutting holes in the trunk and using regular nuts (cage nuts were shot) ...then re-sealed up the trunk.

When I had all the body mounts out would have been the best time to do this but I didn't realize this would be an issue. Now that they are all back in, I would have to cut open the trunk again which I would rather not do. I've been thinking of cutting it into a two-piece line to make it more maneuverable. Then either re-connect both metal lines at an accessible spot or maybe use stainless braided rubber gas line hose to get through the frame brace and around upper spring brace and back to the tank.
