So we dialed it back and returned to a new set of OEM lines he had sitting around.
The positive is that the frame is essentially bare, no engine/trans/interior/fuel pump/etc.

Do you mean steel braided as opposed to stainless lines?
I agree that using the OEM replacement lines is a very safe path forward.

Using stainless braided lines when they aren't fully clamped down or isolated from contact with
anything else is a really bad idea. Stainless braid will slowly saw it's way through panels that it is allowed to vibrate against. The OEM lines are a great idea but if you want to use stainless braided lines get the hose that has a rubber sheath outside of the stainless braid.
