Installing 1 piece fuel line

What is the best way to install a fuel line from the tank to fuel pump on a 68 camaro? Looks like it could be tough without a hoist.

I just did this in the last 4 months. 68, 3/8",orig material Steel, single, BB version <Mfr. Fine Lines>.
I used Jackstands & accomplished the removal and installation during the planned changeout of the Subfarme bushings so I could gain the additional clearances avail during seperation of the sub from the body. Car was elevated using jackstands to gain some height which helped 'fish' in the rear section. Refreshed some of the clips, and the only tough part was slight tweeking the rear section up and over the rear.
No Lift required.

Note SB &BB lines terminate differently up forward at the subframe. Nothing regarding install.

Glad to help.
I enjoy the 68's!

Side note: the 67 68 red dual sided fuel-brake line clip is not avail from AMK as indicated in their catalog. I found these clips in a Fuel line clip set from Finelines. If you are a little rough with the factory clips they can POP! out of the body. THe new clips will take a set when installing them with a tapered center punch by driving the clip into the body piercing.

169Indy or whomever, I bought 1 pc Stainless Fuel Line from Dave at Fine Lines, for my 69 Camaro.

I need to install with subframe and big block in place.

Can you advise with specific detail on this chore.......
