Mini Tubs 1970 Camaro DSE How hard?

[BritishGreen68]

I am about half way through the mini tub on my 68 camaro. I started on it, and went a bought a plasma cutter. You can do it without it, but way easier with it. You can do it yourself if you have some sheetmetal fab skill, and determination. I run into the problem where I just stand there and stare at it and its hard to get motivated, but i find that if i work a couple hours a day on it it goes pretty fast. It is a lot of work but its worth it. Once i got the old tubs out and the floor trimmed, I test fit my wheels and seeing them fit for the first time really made me want to get it done..

yes, i agree, much easier add strip on a 2nd gen tub. Adding the links makes it an easier job.


I like to use the cut off wheels still, Its nicer cut, no need to clean the metal and no slag to clean after. Plasma is good for the bulk cutting. Honestly I don't use it much anymore.
