I would probably use some angle iron inside the frame for strength or you could
just box it. The El Camino fuel tank mounts way different. It has side to side
mounts(bars) under it with straps over the top. Bolts to the underside of the
chassis.

Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 1965 Frame & Rearend
Thanks for all the input. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. I
had a little fender bender @ work last week and when woke up Saturday I could
hardly move.Then the water heater went out @ my house Sunday. So I spent Monday
& Tuesday trying to recouperate.
I picked up the frame and stopped @ the carwash. After 20 dollars in
quarters it looks like I scored real well.Next I will be measuring and cutting
the frame. I guess my next questions are:
1) After welding the frame does it need a gusset on the inside?
2) Would you grind and fill the welds until you cannot see were it was
sectioned ?
3) I haven't looked yet but does the El Camino gas tank straps bolt up the
same as the coupe?
