for my `67 Chevelle--does anyone offer the correct clips with the correct olive green color, or am I stuck with painting whatever is commonly available?

AMK products? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Lastly, who offers the best quality mild steel fuel & brake line kits?

Thanks.
Eric

I use alot of fine lines stuff.http://www.finelinesinc.com/ And there local for me. Wandsworth OH. I have only used there SS lines, never used there steel, but they have them.
I just got a SS set from the in SS for a Nova project, there telling us that they are using a softer SS that should seal up better. I have not got the fuel or brakes operational yet so I can't comment.
I have always found ther lines to be A-1.

I buy repo clips from right stuff and inline tube but they are not 100% correct and the colors are way off. I will normally glass bead them and re paint, you can buy the correct color from most anywhere. If you dont know the correct colors Im sure i have some originals I can send picks of.

Joseph;

Those are close, but not quite. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

To follow are a few pics of my originals which were unfortunately disposed of during the chassis powdercoat session. (I didn't think there would be any problem obtaining new replacements, so I wasn't concerned with holding onto the originals)

These are pics of the brake and fuel line clips on the pass. side of the frame just behind the front tire.

Please forgive the quality of the pics, they're blown up clips from larger pics, so they're a little bit grainy.

Amen! I order from them about once a month and now I do it on the web at www.licorvette.com (http://www.licorvette.com) just so I don't have to have that conversation!
