Support/strengthen.
okay. what gauge sheetmetal should i get, and what should i re-inforce it with? a couple pieces of metal (c-channel, but short channels)? we have some 1/8" or 1/4" thick iron/steel c-channel pieces, and those are strong as hell. would aluminum ones work? (i'm trying to keep the weight of my car down.

Sorry about my other post I did not mean to seem as if I were irrational. I do agree with beater measure twice cut once.
If I were you I would run some small (1/8"-1/4") and running it along the existing floor. The "L'ing" it to drop to your propane tank.
I would not want that bottle near the exhaust. That is just me though.

its not a bottle, its a propane tank. like ones on grills, except the metal is thicker, and it is almost impossible to puncture, so i'm not worried. its just as bad as having a gas tank near your exhaust.
