Can anyone help me with some info as far as what it would take to make it happen.
1. Does anyone make a tub well (like a dse)
2. Do need to narrow the frame.
3. Do need to narrow the rear end.
4. Do i need to narrow the gas tank.
5. If i decide to go with a shop roughly how many hours would it take for a shop to do the job.
Any other info you guys have to add about a mini tub for my chevelle would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!  |

atleast if you want to retain the oem frame... then you are limited to notching the frame "to the seam" .. the wheels just need more offset to pull the inner lip inwards.
if you want alot more, then you are propably best off getting an aftermarket frame, if you retain the stock one you will have a couple of grand into both the front and rear suspension, some into strengthening and boxing the stock one to get close to what an art morrisson frame with 3 link and c6 front suspension can do....
I went stock frame with my g body (simmillar frame, but narrower) and it wasnt cheap to remove, blast, modify, paint and install suspension (ats spindles, GW front controllarms, currie rear arms, wattslink, moser rear, varishocks etc... and its still a stock frame limiting how low i can get the car, how wode tires i can run etc.. but its up to you in the end
