[Shotimes] fuel lines

[Robert Bruce]

My 92 is back in my garage with a roll bar and a new set of fuel lines.  No
other fire damage, thank goodness.  http://www.vintageparts.org/ had the set
of lines.  Once again I've been reminded of the old saying, " If you want
something done right ........".  Oh well, $300 for a 4 point bar and a rear
shock tower brace wasn't too bad, plus a free set of new fuel lines.

Right before we welded the base plate to the floor for the main hoop on the
passenger side, I said "lemme double check underneath".  Doh!  Fuel lines.
We pulled the body clips off the lines and put a metal plate between them.
Melted fuel lines, and fuel could be a disaster.

And to think I've TRIED to destroy 89 and can't seem to <g>
