Question Fuel line solutions for "clipped" IFS trucks?

I was wondering how other folks on the forum got around the issue of running fuel lines around headers, boxed frames, and other obstacles to deliver fuel up to the engine. I am running the stock mechanical fuel pump on the engine. The front IFS is 77' Camaro with a factory hole for a fuel line to pass through the upper engine crossmember. I would love to see pics of how people are routing their lines. I'm worried about routing near the headers and it might look weird running a line directly on top of the frame. Hhhmmm..........thinking about my options at this point. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Anyone running their fuel lines under the frame?

I personally wouldn't run it under the frame. I see nothing wrong with it on top.

I agree with Kim, not under the frame and if it's too close as the picture shows running in on top of the frame would just fine..

Thinkin' thats my only solution. Have you guys seen fuel lines ran on the top of the frames much? I thought it might look bad when I pop the hood. My biggest concern is safety and making sure heat does not get too close.

I don't think it will look bad if the install is done nice and clean.
I have some of my hydraulic lines run on top of my frame and it doesn't bother me one bit.
