You may have a point. I'll think on it. Might remove or do it over.

Yeah I haven’t seen a donor build in 20 years.At the beginning of this thread, I gave my opinion of FFR Cobra Kit cars.
My opinion was based on what I saw first hand back in the early 2000's.
From what I see here, with your build, there has been a huge leap forward in quality.
You are doing a fantastic job. I am impressed.
Thank you very much, that means a lot. I was always of the opinion that when building one of these, quality is fully on the builders shoulders.At the beginning of this thread, I gave my opinion of FFR Cobra Kit cars.

It really is quite a bit of fun. If you don't rush yourself and stay focused, it's very rewarding. I would highly recommend it.Looking great, great job. This would be a great retirement project.
Billet Specialties has some nice ones, not cheap though. I am using some double panel clamps that hold 2 hoses. I found them at T.I Performance, unfortunately they get shipped out of Australia's but they are nice pieces if that is what you are looking for. Be prepared for sticker shock, make sure you are sitting down when you google either of the above. I can snag a couple of pics if you’re interestedNext is fuel lines. They give you these clamps for holding the lines to the frame. I'm looking for something a little more elegant. Anyone have ideas?
Very nice, very expensive. About $20/ea. I may have to just bite the bullet.Billet Specialties has some nice ones, not cheap though. I am using some double panel clamps that hold 2 hoses.

Was just looking for options and came across these.

Anyone ever use these? Funny thing is, they're just up the road from me about 20 minutes. I may run up there and take a look.
They come pre-bent and generally fit pretty well. May need to do some minor trimming to make it "just right". It's mostly drilling holes for the rivets. I went with a narrower spacing on the rivets that can be seen, I think it looks cool. Anywhere else, they are spaced a bit further apart. Besides, all the panels get laid down with a sealant as well. It is the tedious part of the build because you don't really feel like you're making much progress. Panels go on and you think, wow, then all the panels come off.How much do you have to do to those panels? Cutting or bending?
Those look like the Billet Specialties clamps, however, I saw several that share that design online. I like that look, but I would need single line clamps and they also need to attach to the frame. I'm thinking a trip up to Notchead today is in order.I have no experience with the ones you showed (They look badass though). For my hard fuel lines on my 65 I used those rubber type line clamps, similar to the ones provided to you, as they are under the car and will never be seen.
However, in my fender well where my hard brake lines run I used an aluminum clamping system. I'm not sure if they are Billet Specialties or not. I believe I got them from Speedway Motors.
They just keep the lines uniform and do not attach to the body. Since my hard lines are short and bent very close to the body it works well.

If you need single and something to attach to the frame rail something like this might work.Those look like the Billet Specialties clamps, however, I saw several that share that design online.
