the seat back hits under the window, even eliminating all padding will only move you back a couple inches. if you need more leg room, i gained an inch or two by raising the seat. i get you on chrome, other than the grill and front bumper not much shiny on truk
Unfortunately my NAPA doesn't carry the fittings... I can bring them the fittings and such and they'll crimp them for me, at $50-75 a line... def not free. Looks like we have different NAPAs out here

How much slack did you leave in your lines? Add 6 inches to make install easier/cleaner, perhaps?
