Our plans for this car call for "spirited" driving courtesy of the 800+ horsepower Mast engine, so we'll need to run much larger tires than the stock Camaro wheel tubs can hold. The solution is the install of some Detroit Speed deep tubs. First, Eric cuts out the stock rear trunk hinge support by drilling out the stock spot welds.



Next, the wheel tub spot welds are drilled. Note the line on the floor, this is where the floor will be cut and folded to accommodate the deep tubs.





Behind the wheel tub, the white line is cut in the trunk floor to house the deep tub.



The frame rail before modifications.
