  What is the correct way to fasten the line to the frame. I am OK from the tank to the rear cross member and from the firewall to the frame area near the master cylinder. I have the correct clips. I am just not sure how the navigate around/through/atop the frame supports at the frame. Thanks.

  Ken,
I find it kind of difficult to describe the routing.
Once the line goes over the top of the rear cross member, it runs along the left frame rail.
I assume you have it clamped atop the cross member - correct?
The line is held to the vertical (side) of the frame rail in three places.
Two of them share the top mounting holes of the running board at the (board) brackets.
I believe once you have got that far, the rest should be fairly easy.
The third clip is shortly before the line bends upwards and around the firewall.
As you go, if you have any questions, let me know. I may have some photos. I may...

  Ken,
This photo may help you a bit. I hope so at least.
Take note of the bend in the line near the flex line connection. That is correct.

  Hi Mike, I'll give a go at it. It should not be too difficult. There is a small opening at the top of a frame support (from outer frame to cross member "X" to the transmission area)next to frame. I will let you know of my success? Thanks, FYI the new web design is good.
