I'd love to see some more pics of the fabrication of the wheel tubs if you have any. Those are very nice. I'd like to see where the weld seams are etc. You can barely tell that's for sure.

I'll see if Rodger at IRONWORKS has any of the fab photos...... If so, we'll post them.

Wait till you see the trunk shots. I'll post them soon.

That IS a Chevelle in the background. The roof measures in at 48 inches off the ground! A certain 66 Nova (John's) measures 49.5 inches.

You could seek shelter from a hail storm under one of those tubs!

Yeah - I know, amazing fab work. I'm just your average home/hobby tinkerer that's trying to learn how to even hold a candle to this type of fab work. Slowly but surely I'm picking up tools, but now I gotta find time to work on the skills.

Keep the pics coming, I love checking the threads on all of the builds in your shop!

There has been interest on the fabrication of the tubs, so here is another photo.

This photo shows where the weld seam is from the inside:
