Sorry for the late reply, also have a little update.
Rims are Volk LM-1 17x9 and 17x7.5
So i was having massive fuel leak problems.....little did i know i was using the wrong style injectors in the KG rails. If you ever use KG Rails, make sure you have the bosch style injectors, they are different from the stock ones. Also i took the time to order new fittings for the rails, bought a dremel to cut the line. When i got the kit from KG parts it wasn't an exact drop-in fit. Lots of wierd lines with crappy fittings(in my book). I would suggest to anyone in the future to build your own fuel line kit.
On to the pictures. Any suggestions are welcome!
Overall shot.
Fuel rails.

I realize the car still needs a lot of cleaning up, but I don't have any well experienced people up here in Alaska, so I'm kind of doing this all myself here.....learning as I go. Enjoy!

I like the looks of that fuel system, nice and pretty. What did you do from the firewall back, like with the hard fuel lines? Did you replace them or what? If you kept the hard lines, how did you adapt to the SS Braided stuff. Thanks. Keep up the goodwork.

T24U: Oh it's up and running just fine right now, but as we all know, not a very good car for Alaska roads.
NJ: Firewall-back is all the stock lines. This is basically what I used to adapt the lines, but of course in the proper size.

You can kind of see them in the pictures, they are the only brass colored fittings in my engine bay.
Nene: Thanks for the comments! Hope your situation works out for ya.

Yeah at this time of year its kinda ridiculous, the roads are all glazed over with ice. During the summer its beautiful, and there is plenty of daylight.

I ran all the lines so there wouldn't be any problems with anything interfering. The brake booster line is a pain in itself, but I've taken the UIM off about 75 times (seriously) so I'm used to it.
