Howard & Kevin,

Thank you both for the advice. I just went ahead and bit the bullet on buying some Nicopp and a flare tool and bender. I've always wanted to try making my own lines so I figure this is a good opportunity.

On another note, I picked up the gas tank from the acid dip place I dropped it off at last week. It looks really nice. But they had to drill a hole in the tank as part of their process, so the tank is with a radiator shop for a small patch and pressure test. Looking forward to getting it back and into the car. I went ahead an bought a '57 thunderbird fuel sender as some on this forum suggested. I was looking at the two units side by side and noticed they had some differences.. The travel of the arm, while a bit shorter on the new unit is fairly close. Was hoping others here could verify I purchased the right one? Also, It seems I'm missing the gasket, which is frustrating. Is it too far fetched to get one on its own or make one possibly? Otherwise I'll have to order another unit.
