I think the braided hose that runs under the chassis structure is the fuel line - it goes up at the right point to intersect with a fuel pump.
It would be a bad idea to pinch that one...
It also looks like he has an ignition coil bracket on the triangular frame gusset on the passenger side.
Interesting mods....
