I too like the external idea, but for another reason: being able to 
remove the rear bench seat without *too* much trouble. I had to do 
this to clean up the mess from a leaky rear heater core, and while it 
was not too difficult, having a gas line running inside the seat 
"box" would make it much tougher. Presumably, running the line 
through the floor directly to the furnace would allow for a quick 
uncpuling of the gas line, provided the hole in the plywood allowed 
the end to slide through when lifting the seat.

Geez, by the time I get my Propex (next year I hope..), it'll be a 
piece of cake to install! :))
