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

I started doing the mini tub on mine but pulled off to finish up some rust issues on the main shell (what's left). I have to get the rockers mounted on so I can attach the shell to the floor pans before I can complete the mini tub.

Kurt and Paul at Autokraft do incredible work. You will be more than happy with the finished product and Kurt is great with taking pics/documenting the progress.

Cool.....

I remember when you started your build asking "are you going to minitub it" and people anwsering "it doesnt't have to be, its nice as it is... bla bla bla" hehe, glad to see you finally came to it. Going to look good!

New question now...are you really going with "only" 315's...How about 335's while your at it?.... Or wait, maybe in a few months... (there is that seed thing again!)

Nice job man,

Lead.

I dropped the car off today at AutoKraft. Kurt is a great guy and I wasted way to much of his time looking at projects and discusing the work I want done. I looked over a killer 69 Camaro he is working on that has 335 tires on it and they look sweet. I am going to stick with my skinny little 315 for now but after I burn the 315s off who knows. When I left I felt good about taking it to Kurt and can't wait for the finished product. I wish I would have had him working on it from the start. Hopefully pictures will follow before to long. Steve
