mini tubbing a 64 chevelle
 

I'm am looking for info on mini tubbing a 64 chevelle. Thanks for any help

What size tire do you want to run? I've never seen a mini-tubbed A-body.

malitude was mini tubbed, no where near as "simple" as an f-body

Right now I have P245/60R15 on the car,and they are pretty tight. I had seen the artical in popular hot rodding about Malitude, and was woundering how they did it. I love the car, but I think it would look and perform better with bigger tires on it.

well... im goin from memory here, so i might not be 100% correct. as i recall he moved the frame rails inboard at about the wheel houses, then proceeded to do a "standard" mini tub on the wheel wells(cut and add)

this is a major undertaking, not for the faint of heart, i would almost suggest finding and alternate way of stuffing the tire in the room available. carefull backspace measurements, and possibly buldging the qtrs out a lil(64's are curved everywhere anyway, a compitent body guy should be able to "handle" it without it being noticable...been there done that :thumbsup: )

the last 64 i did was way low with 275 40 17 on an 8.5" wheel...dont remember the backspace.... the lower shock mount needed a lil rework to clear the wheel also(that might have been another car...i dont remember). the car also had the narrower rear, as i recall it made it a PITA finding the right offset.

hope this helps

I am doing one right now....it has a 295/40R20! Should have some pics up after SEMA it is tight but it clears by 3/4 on the inside and clears the quarter by 1/2 all the way around!

:thumbsup: i have a soft spot for 64's, i will be sitting here patiently waiting for those pics

you have a PM

I have a 64 as well. (19,000 original miles) Would love to mini tub it but my jewels just are not big enough to make myself do it. Maybe another car would be a better choice. Malitude is just plain badass!
