Hey guys. My car is a street car but I figured I'd share anyhow.

Basically, I had to replace the fron clip on my 65 type 1, so while I was at it I stuck squate tubing in the channels under the gas tank. After you've aligned everything, you can spot weld the outer skin to the tubing. This may be a good option to reduce flexing on class 11 and similar cars with metal front aprons.
