Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Tank looks good! I plan on a rear tank swap as well. Helps to add some weight on the back tires.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Looking good! I have the same EFI tank coming in next week. Glad to see it mounts nicely. Any issues with it, or the biggest thing to do is remove/relocate that thin crossmember?
Thanks. All I had to do was trim the crossmember with a grinder about 1/8 inch is plenty. T.J. MCCAULEY

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
Worked a little on the 65 today but forgot to take pics.
Cut the inner rocker on drivers side. I will bend a sheet of metal tonight and take some pics tomorrow.
