Default Replacing fuel line. Routing ideas needed.

I am replacing the original fuel line on my 80 with an aluminum one. The old line is pretty rusted. The body is on the frame and I need some ideas on how to run the line where it goes thru the frame.

I struggled with how to replace the fuel line on a '79, that my wife used to own. I say struggled, because I was trying to do it "right", yet found it almost impossible to do, as you are, with the body on the frame. I hated to do it, but I wound up going with a thick-walled rubber hose, as I just couldn't see a way to get a hard line up around the "dogleg" of the frame, in front of the rear wheel.
