Default Fuel lines

Drove over a tree stump in the 2003 Monte SS, my fuel lines are dented right behind the transmission. Brake lines are fine. Looking for all three fuel pipes.

Just repair the dented section with new line instead of replacing the whole thing

If you do this cut a section of line out and replace it with a metal section. Double flare the pipe and use compression fittings.

Do not use rubber hose and clamps. If the rubber line leaks you'll be spraying fuel all over a hot exhaust system. I think you can figure out what would happen next.

Is there a recommended kit and guide out there for this?

Agree if it's out of your league don't try and save a buck when it comes around to messing with fuel under pressure next to a hot exhaust. Get it wrong and it's Game Over...

This is not a job you'd do step by step from a manual. That is the impression I get by your question. Have it repaired by a professional.
