This can be solved, but again more fab work is required. It probably would be cheaper just to go with C4 or C5 suspension.
Yes, my fuel lines will run from the fuel cell out over the frame rail and then down inside the frame and up to the fire wall. I have both a feed line and a return line.
If you want a set of flares, I have the molds, and we could work something out.

Wow, your friend's got the original 004?
This site has been one of my favourites for quite some time now:
http://www.racingicons.com/gs/004/index.html
Where abouts are you located? I'm making another big 17 state road trip starting from NYC on 10th of this month it would be awesome to see your project in the flesh and talk some more BS while looking at it
Do have any more pics of the frame mods you did to make the GS suspension work? Any dimensions? I still haven't heard back from the guys at Guldstrand, how quickly did you get yours? I've haerd people having to wait months for the 5-link...
Where did you get the brake set up?
I think the flares on my Grand Sport body will be wide enough for me at this point, but thanks for the offer anyway!
Keep us posted!
