Thanks for the info, thats the way I have but I must have the wrong fuel line.

Could that "other" line be a fuel vapor line? Usually 1/4 tube.
Removing the warning labels one at a time.
Nature will take care of the rest.

I do, in the thread I began which is back a ways in this section - on page 30 - which I've locked until I can add evidence of actual progress. All the photos contained are linked from a photobucket account so they are viewable whether you're logged in or not. Here's the link:

Wrong decisions on my part led to a situation(s) beyond my control and then the domino effect began, so that my car became another 'horror' story. I still have it and still plan to have it finished, just not very soon. My enthusiasm has actually increased since I pulled it out of the shop and into storage in 2010 and seeing your thread with '70 Challenger RT SE' in the title was way cool.

Hey guys and gals, I am thinking of getting my tail light chrome , re-chromed. Is this the best way to go or is it best to purchase reproduction. And also who does the best work? I saw in Year one they have reproductions alot cheaper than re-chrome. Any thoughts.

Re-chroming will cost a fortune and you'll lose the crisp line details.
Reproduction is the best way to go and David at Roseville Moparts is the best place to buy them :2cents:

You can get the whole set, ready to bolt on from Roseville Moparts for $495. Even less if you mention you're a member here :2thumbs:
