To my utter shame, I was never able to find that exact fuel line bracket. It has to have some other application. I know I have seen it before but maybe someone else can ID from memory what is was. (I did use an NOS black cable tie to hold it up there, though - so do I get points for that?)

Bob, the car had NOS quarters and tail panel put on it in back in the 1980s but they did an ugly patchwork of repairs to the inner and outer wheeltubs as no factory pieces were available at the time. Are you going to remove the quarters and redo the inner tubs with the new repro tubs they make now? They actually used the old fashioned brazing method to install the panels, so it might not be as hard to remove the quarters as if they were mig-welded. Unfortunately whoever did the work thought that the rear valance seam to the lower quarters was supposed to be completely filled in. I used a propane torch to melt away a lot of the bulk excess brass in order to expose the original seams.
