He knew a guy that did excellent tig welding so I purchased a new stock tank and had them narrow it. It turned out really well and I lost about 3 gallons of fuel space. Other than the mini tub kit itself my biggest cost was the new Michilen tires  Yeah, I'm in Oklahoma where you won't see too many 1st gen camaros with a DSE mini tub kit and lowered 3" with Intro wheels but a buddy of mine is getting ready to go ALL OUT with his 69 camaro build. Can't wait to see him get started with it.. All you have to do is shop around for guys to install your DSE kit.. The guy that did mine had never done one but did an excellent job.. It turned out really nice.. I couldn't have been more pleased...I am using a stock rearend so when I ordered my rear wheels I had most of the offset to the inside. About the only thing that I had to do was reset the angle on my pinion.. I do have pics of the tank if anyone wants to see them...

I have a friend that did the same thing on the tank as well. there is a company making the factory stamping tank in Stainless Steel, which tig welds way better that the stock one with the galv. coating..... it goes for 199.00 new... I just needed the space so I went with a ricks tank..... i only get 9 mpg with a TKO....
