I don't care how fast it was or who put it together, even if it was Motion or the Mason Bros., that looks terrible and I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that hopefully that was just cobbled together quickly for the magazine shoot or something. That much floppy rubber fuel line not only looks terrible, but it's dangerous as well and would flunk technical inspection at most drag strips. The messed-up thing is if that was a random photo of an unknown car with that fuel line set-up, people would be laughing at it and rolling their eyes but since it happens to be a Baldwin-Motion car, it's supposed to be acceptable. Whatever. I remember doing something like that when I was like 16-17 years old and my father just ripped me a new one after seeing it!</div></div> True, it wouldn't pass tech inspection these days; but back then, there was no max 12" of rubber fuel line rule. Jenkins had lots of rubber line on his motors back in the day. Duct tape too. 1970 NHRA Supernationals:
