Fuel line help?

I need to replace my fuel lines, as one does in Ohio, and I want to save myself some hassle and get what I need before I start pulling lines off. I know that both my pressure and vapor lines are 3/8, and I'm replacing it all with NiCopp I'm cutting and flaring myself. After all, I've got a bunch of stuff laying around from a different car, so I'm hoping to use as much of it as I can. I can see the hard line is rusted almost all the way back in the rear, but until I take things apart I can't see how it connects up to the fuel pump. I want to replace all of it. I can see how I'll do it towards the front, but the back gives me pause. I have tons of 3/8 copper line, and 3.5' of 80 psi fuel injection hose that is safe for ethanol-containing fuels. What's the best way, do y'all reckon, to replace those connections when making the new lines yourself?

There are quick connects on the end similar to the under hood end.
There are fuel line kits available with connectors. Check ebay.

I started to smell fuel on my recently purchased 2006 so I ordered a set of those fuel lines. Hopefully I can install them next week if they get here in time. $130 is not worth making them yourself unless you had a fuel line kit at your disposal.

I installed my new lines yesterday and it was not a hard job. I decided to remove the steel lines for a cleaner install, the Evap line was the worst of the two lines and hopefully it will cure my Evap leak code now. The kit was well worth the money and made the job a lot easier. I also like the fact that Inline Tube is American made instead of Chinese like Dorman products.
