You can get new steel or stainless fuel lines already made and bent properly from Classic Tube. They come coiled to save on shipping but apparently it's easy to straighten them.

Yeah just cut it in like 2 convenient places then patch it back together to use as a template. The copper nickel line bends easily, so you just put a soft bend in it in the middle of the frame rail section to get it to poke through below the firewall and over the rear axle area, or whatever, and straighten it, while having made the difficult bends outside the car.

The brake and fuel lines were originally installed on the frame before the body was installed.
I've seen guys manage to redo them as a single piece and tetris them into place. I find it much easier to just do the very long lines as two pieces with a flare-nut union in the middle.
