Default 69 camaro mini tubs with 345/30/19 tire

Just wondering using stock frame rails obviosly notched and plated on a 69 camaro running a 12".5 wide rim with a 345/30/19 tire can it be done with DSE. tubs or do I need to modify the outer wheelhouse also ?

Also has anybody used the chrisalston chassis works mini tubs they look to be similar to the DSE Mini tubs and what's your experience with them if you have used them.

Thanks,John

Here is mine with DSE minitubs and notched frame. We did cut the fender lip but it's not a factor with a 345 and the right offset.

Thanks!

I have a build thread on here but just picking up steam again. That was a test fit if the wheel/tire I plan to run. Not my wheels sadly.

Check my thread out though. More photos there!

I used the Alston mini tub kit on my 69. I chose them because the kit came with the close out panels that saved on fab time. Other than the shape being slightly different they are the same and use the same process to install as the DSE.
