1. Is it necessary to narrow the rearend to get the full backspacing allowed by the kit? If it does, how much does it need to be narrowed on with a 68 camaro 12 bolt?
The rear end does not HAVE to be narrowed. Most people narrow the rear so that they can get a little extra lip on their wheels.
2. Does the gas tank absolutely need to be narrowed? I'm on a really tight budget, so anything I absolutely don't need would help. If the gas tank needs to be narrowed what are the dimensions on it? Again it would be a 67-69 Gas tank.
Unless you plan on doing the Quadralink, The G-bar setup, or something else that eliminates your leafsprings and stock shock mount locations, you will need a narrowed gas tank. The minitub kit requires leaf springs to be relocated inward a couple inches, and the stock gas tank gets in the way.
The minitubs are a lot of work, so if I were you I would consider calling a few fab shops in your area, and maybe even DSE to see what they normally charge for the work. The cost of good labor will probably outweigh the cost of parts.
Good luck with it, and take your time! Do it all right the first time!
