Default fuel return line

I'm on my last major part of the tpi install in my 65. Does anyone have photos or some detailed description of the best way to get from my fuel tank to the engine compartment with a braided flex line? The body is on and the original fuel line is in use. All help will be appreciated.

I'm building a retro '58...new body, new C5 style frame, etc.
I'm using the original style fuel tank. I had a output and return A/N connector welded into the bottom on the tank and am using an external fuel pump. I drilled holes in the fiberglass and ran the hoses out to the underside of the car. I routed the braided hoses up the side rails of the frame. Right side has the feed to the engine and the left side has the return. It's still a work in progress but I can send a pic if you want.

Thanks for the reply. Pictures would be great. My main concern is getting past all of the moving parts at the rear.
