Mitch, did the fuel line being pre-installed give you any issues as far as in the way when you mated it back up to the subframe?

Such a beautiful car. I remember when you were looking for measurements on the RS lower trim holes. Looks like it came out perfectly.

Sorry !! Just saw this. My sub was fully loaded with drivetrain, so I was moving it back into the body carefully and did need to make small adjustments to many things, along with the fuel line, but nothing major. Slow and careful and it will all slide right in.
I do have the advantage of the body being held with my forklift and adjusting height infinitely to get the body to "drop" down on the sub with the trans and shifter, less the stick, in place. If you have the body on a lift, it will easy...

I am sure you already know, but thought this might be helpful
1968 Z21 (*w/incl Z22) Wheel arch Trim.

GM rationalized (Deleted-Superseded) the RS Wheel arch Trim from eight part numbers to four, including these service instructions to modify the "Longer" Std trim pieces to the RS configuration.

This is for the "Fronts" I am sure there was a sheet for Rears at some point.

This is posted so others or you can refer to and maybe save a unneeded hole being drilled.

Keep up the great work.
