Taking the mini tub plunge

[Steve Firebird]

Funny how these things happen. I was just about ready to finish up the last bit of wiring and install the interior on my 68. Then I decided that the rear wheels just did not fit in the wells like I had hoped. I also had started to dislike the 17-18 combo on the rims and a seed planted some time ago in my sick brain took root and stated to grow.
Tuesday the 27th I am taking my car to AutoKraft and it is going to get a few upgrades. Minitubs and a G bar are going in. I have some new Budnik GTX rims 17 X 11 and a set of 315/35 17 tires to go on the car. They will also install my new exhaust which is made up of 2.5” ovalized tubing with a X pipe and a set of spin tech mufflers. While it is there I am going to have them install the head liner and adjust the new smoked windows I all ready installed. Hopefully when I get it back I can have it on the road right away. Wish me luck Steve

good luck Steve, but you don't need it with Kurt. He does fantastic work, you're in great hands.

Anxious for pics..............

Great choice in Kurt and mini tubbing. Your car will have a whole new look. Congrats.

I am doing pretty much the same thing thing, mini-tubbing and G-Bar in the rear. So far the progress on my mini-tub I have all the old inner tubs out and the frame rails notched and the new tubs fit in there nice and tight when clamped down, it is amazing how much more space you have!

I bet you will be very happy with your decision!

Thanks for the comments. I am hoping I can get Kurt to take some pictures so I can post them and have them for my self. I was a little nervouse about spending so much but felt in the long run it will be well worth it. Steve
