Hey guys I’m going to start plumbing the fuel system. I will be using a VaporWorx controller so I only need a feed line. I plan on running 3/8” nicopp hardline along the frame. I’m looking for some pics/ideas on where to terminate the hardline and go to softline an to the tank and to the fuel rail.
This is for a 69 Camaro with LSA and ricks restomod tank.
Pics are very much appreciated. Thanks!

Here is a video I made a long time ago that shows you the steps:

Thanks Andrew, but I was looking for location of where and how people are making the connection. For example, hardline along the frame, 90 to run along the floor, then 90 up the firewall and connect to fuel rail.

Gotcha. Sorry I misunderstood the question.

I ran my hardline as close as I could to the tank and engine within reason. I made my connection to the soft line on the inside of my inner fender and run the rubber line through a thick rubber grommet/inner fender straight to the fuel rail. On the rear I stopped the hardline on the frame rail less than two feet from the tank. I mounted my FPR/filter on the tank itself. About 18" of soft line to the FPR/ filter and less than 12" from the FPR/filter to the drop in fuel pump module. I'll try to find a couple of pics.

I ran my line like the OEM's usually do. I hard line to a point that will have the least amount of movement compared to the engine. In my case this is near the engine mount. That is were I make the connection to a flexible line, a PTFE lined SS braided line in my case. This reduces the amount of flex that the flexible line will need to have. See my pictures, sorry for the low quality.
