Twin Turbo,
I'd like to strengthen my frame in the area you are pointing out but I cannot make it out in the photo. Can you point it out for me?

I'm guessing that you might be referring to the oil filler tube ?
Not sure, but I think all Chevy 327 engines from 1968 and earlier had this tube on the intake. :chevy

I know the area ... as I welded it up, but I don't see the damage that Marck is referring to.
There is a broken piece of inner fender hanging in front of the area.
I see the brake line/bracket that looks somewhat like a crack/hole - but not.

Oh, you are right, the frame is not broken... I got to get me a new monitor, this one is too dark. I'm now on my other system and it's clear here. Still, for those interested, it's the hoile you see here:
