need some help here. I did some research on this site about tubs and came up with very little info. I noticed that inner wheel housings are two pieces welded? or sealed together. Do you take out both halfs? I am planning on only minitubbing the car. I would like to fit a 325/50 radial OR an INDY bias play 12 inch slick. Is this too big? Basically I am trying to fit a 15x12 draglites with a 12 inch tire. Do I cut out the old fenders? DO I beat on the old fenders? I need a step by step procedure here. Thanks ahead of time. BY the way the car has a 10 bolt rear.

I have a 70 which I minitubbed, you can go to this site and check out the pictures. Your best bet is to remove the whole wheel well and install the tubs, you will need to ditch your rear windows also, and put in some lexan but might be able to make it work stock. http://www.fullerfabrications.com go under 'cars done' and it's the 70 chevelle.

the 67 dosen't get out much at all (very sad) but it's as clean as it's gonna get for a 100% survivor. It actually looks alot cleaner in person although the engine could use a good steam cleaning.

thanks,
Jali
