For fuel line? For “AN” style fittings?
How about a bulkhead connector?
That’s what I did on The Juggernaut.
Pass the main part of it through the front and thread the jam nut on the inside. That’ll provide a fixed connection point. It might be a bit of a pain attaching the line to the inside, so the other way you could do it is to pre-attach the inside line to the short side of the connector, then pass it through the opening. It just means you’ll have the longer portion of the connector and the jam nut visible from the outside. That may not be a big deal, but if you’re as anal retentive as I am, you’ll want it the other way.

You’ll have a second and separate line from there to your fuel pump or carb (or throttle body), but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Gives you a place to conveniently drain the line if need be.
Just a suggestion.

No problem brother, happy to help out.
I totally get the attention to detail, and so far you’re right on top of it.

Thanks! Long way from being show ready but i appreciate the compliment. . once i get the body on the frame I'm gonna tearout the vynil top and get started on body work... THEN gut the interior for some updating

 

[ssn696]

Good call on the bottoms-up approach. I'd hate to wreck finished paint putting the body back on the frame...

Got to play a little today.. lined up the frame ready to bolt in..
