    Accumoto do a nice job of representing the exposed oil lines on their cars.

    Exposed, satin black is my choice. But no question they are tidier inside the rocker.

    External, there are a lot of used OE lines out there, and a few that haven't been crushed. Just use the factory 'gull' clamps with rubber buffers.

    Plus 1 on Chuck's lines. He sells his and OEM. His Elephant lines are tougher.

    Unless your rocker panels are presently all cut open, exposed lines it will have to be!

    My '69S (April build, about 2/3 of the way through the '69 build) oil lines are in the rockers.

    72, but that was a weird year. For all intents and purposes, 73 was the first year for exposed oil cooler lines as we expect to see them.
