The fuel line originally came thru the metal sheet that comes out with the 
engine. I can imagine putting it above, thru the sheet that is part of the 
car's body; that certainly would make for one less thing that had to be 
disconnected from underneath.

Bob Hoover has long suggested making a fitting to get that line thru whatever 
hole you choose. Use one of those 3/8" threaded bushings that are used in lamp 
fixtures and then solder a length of copper tubing into it. You then fix the 
bushing in the plate with 2 of the special bushing nuts and then bend the 
copper tubing to fit and point in exactly the direction you like. Steel tubing 
would actually be better, because it would not be as likely to work harden and 
break, but copper tubing is more readily available.
