Has anyone done business with these folks in Michigan?
I'm wanting to replace fuel line (stainless) from tank to fuel pump.
Website is good, but business dealings tell the story.
Checked our sponsor, Bob's Classic, unable to determine if fittings are on the lines.

I purchase a new fuel line for the 52 in 1998 and it is still there and clean.

Why are you replacing the line?

The Original on the 52 was rusty. I removed the tank had it cleaned and sealed and put on the new line at the same time. Not sure that is the problem here.

I bought all my stainless line and fittings from them for the 53 conv restore and they were good to deal with. I screwed up and ordered the wrong parts and it got taken care of quickly. Shipping on the high end but when is'nt it now days.

i have an entire new set of lines from inline tube for my impala if it ever needs them. i don't have experience dealing with them as they came with a parts car i bought, but the quality looks excellent and the bends were spot on.
if you're not going for correct restoration though i personally would order a roll of tube from summit racing or another race parts supplier and make my own.

There lies my problem. My car is not a restored one, it is an original with duals, plus different tires and wheels on there now. Could be "bone stock" within a day, except for the 55 235 .... thus my thinking on the pre bent line.

Sorry to rob your post Bob, but I thought about re lining mine for an up grade to 3/8" to feed the 350 4bbl. But I'm not sure how to go about changing the 5/16" pickup tube.I think that fitting is welded to the tank.

Bob, you are so close to Obsolete Chevrolet I would call them about a fuel line is you decide you need one. They are in Nashville, Ga.

I bought the lines for my car from Obsolete Chevy. They were Inline Tube. Took a while, because Inline Tube ships to Obs Chevy, who then sent to me. I think it would have been less expensive and more timely had I just purchased from Inline Tube. The quality of the line was very good though, and the fittings were on the line.

Not so close, Bob. Obsolete is 290 miles south of me and 5 plus hours.

I replaced all the brake lines for my '66 Charger with Inline Tube lines and they fit perfect. On the '54 I bent all my own lines. I would use the pre-bent ones again.
