Default Notching rear frame rails

Just looking for a ball park figure on how much it would cost to notch the rear frame rails on my 69 camaro. I'm looking to run 18x12 wheels with 335s if it matters.

Thanks for the quick reply Todd. Luckily the tubs are already done by the previous owner. Just need to mod the frame rails.

Can you post some pictures of what have been done. Notching frame rails you usually need to do when you tub it so I don't get how it has been tubbed but the frame rails not notched.

Previous owner needed height no width for taller tire. My goals are different.

I'm confused? If the car was 'mini'tubbed' in the past....then the frame rails have been notched...if they were widdened more than .75" or so.

They may have been modded to be taller...but to fit a 335 in there you need to widen them 2.75"-3" and notch the frame rails.
