Sept. 22nd -This is how I made the 2" wider tubs... Once I had the trunk floor welded in, I used "blue painters tape" and marked where I wanted to cut to give me the two extra inches.
#1 I placed the tape so that I could still keep the factory wheel-well curve in the floor to weld back in once I removed the 2". I did the same to the inner wheel-well (the wheel-well had a factory crease to use as a guide).
#2 I Cut out both areas in pic#2, Discarding the old wheel-well.
#3 I then had to cut out the same areas on the inside where the back seat goes.
#4 Then cut off the 2" off the trunk floor section.
#5 Tacked in the modified floor section
#6 I then had to modify the new inner wheel-well, by cutting off the flange that would've attached to the outer wheel-well.

Once everything is welded into place, it gives me a 2" wider wheel tub and more room for wider tires...
