Where to get fuel lines?

I just had my floor pans replaced, and one of the fuel lines snapped, and I was told the other one had lots of rust. Where can I go for fuel lines?

Oh, it's for the 82 Trans Am, stock carbed LG4.

Try a place such as inlinetube.com or finelines.com. On a carb setup could also get lengths of flared lines at an auto supply store. Bend, fit, connect as required.

I paid 400 + shipping (I think it was 60 or 80) for both floor pans from Brown of Two Rivers in Wisconsin.

I pulled all of the interior myself, except for the headliner and dash. All of the rear plastic, carpet, door panels, center console, etc I removed myself to save money, and make it eaiser for him.

He estimated it around 400 for labor, another shop guessed 600.

He cut out the old floor pans, welded in the new ones, put sealer in it, put some type of coating on the bottom, and painted the top.

Well, in my short experience of cars; I'm only 17, something always comes up. Not including any mishaps, you will also have to add shipping to the 800, and remember to pull the entire interior yourself. One special tool you'll need is the five star bit to get the seatbelt off; you can get it at any hardware store.

In my case, the fuel line breaking is the mishap this time(hopefully the only one). 400 is a really good deal imo, as the other shop estimated 600. After everything, I could easily imagine a grand coming out of your bank account by the time everything is back to normal, sans holes in the floor pan.

I've have most the tools I need for anything. I've taken a lot of interiors out. Just never done any body work, if I had a place and a welder I'd try it myself.
