Does anyway know where I can get metal fuel lines for my 85 glht. Or should I just get some metal brake lines and use that instead.

I would use aluminized steel. Lesser chance at corrosion and durable. A nice stone flying at some copper lines might just dent it (restricting flow) or puncture it.

man, i got steel break lines for my glh, work great, and break lines hold a crap load of pressure, and wont dent easy, they barely bent easy. i was going to try to duplicate stock bends but just went strait then had a couple 90 deg jogs in it to bring the lines closer to the fuel rail, straight up from under the car. minimal bends.
