Very Nice work on the tubs, going to be much stronger than OEM :thumbsup: That is exactly where I am today .... close outs :superhack:

Thanks for the write up!

:thankyou: ... I have learned so much from these forums, I just want to give back if at all possible.

I looked at your pics... looks great! :thumbsup:

With both inner wheelhouses fit and screwed into place, it is time to remove those NASTY outer wheelhouses. :yes:

Started to fit the outer wheelhouses into place... At first I was wondering if I would even get them to follow the contour of the inner wheelhouse... BUT (Like most of these aftermarket pieces) I find that if I just take things slow and tweak it here and there... all of a sudden it starts to fall into place. PATIENCE is a virtue that MUST be kept when putting these old cars back together! :yes: Oh... that and A LOT of clamps! :D

Once everything was where I wanted it... I started to put a few screws into the wheelhouses/braces... to make sure everything stays put so I can test fit the quarter panels.

Finally Mini-tub project is pretty much done...(just have to be welded in) I will fit the quarter panels and tailpanel first to make sure everything is where it is suppose to be, before I even think about welding it in.:yes:

Overall I am very happy with how it turned out... FINALLY I don't see RUST anymore! :clap:

Very very cool

with those mini-tubs will you have to relocate the leaf springs inboard?

Actually I will be installing SpeedTech's Torque Arm system. So it is one less thing I have to worry about! :yes:
