Dynacorn vs DSE tubs

[Firebird-Geek]

I have been looking at getting tubs for my 67 Firebird Convertible... but find conflicting info. I was going to get DSE tubs... but found a reseller of Dynacorn tubs (DYN-1041FD&GD) that states that these tubs do not require you to notch the frame...

Anyone with Dynacorn (DYN-1041FD & GD) tubs?... did you have to notch your frame just like DSE's? Being that I have a convertible I figured it wouldn't hurt if I could leave the frame rails alone...

If you don't have to notch the frame then the tubs aren't as deep as DSE's. And if that's the case, what's the point? It's only a little more work. The tubs from DSE are well worth the money and I highly recommend them.

2nd that!

I have been thinking of doing the DSE's... only reason for looking at these.

1. It is a convertible and I have been hearing left and right about how convertibles flex so bad after being tubbed... so I figure without cutting the frame rails it may give a bit more strenght to the car.

2. cost... these are less than half the price of the DSE's

3. I think I will be running a 305 or 315 rear tire... so don't now if I need all the room the DSE's give.

I would go with DSE or not go through the hassle. Also if you plate the frame as DSE recommends, its as strong as stock or probably even stronger. I say go with something thats Made in USA, proven to work, and also somewhere you can call and get help. Look at it that way and its a deal.

I am trying to buy as much as I can thats made here in the good ole' USA even I have to postpone and save more. Im tired of this non-fair trade crap, etc. Sorry to rant...GO with DSE tubs and you'll be glas in the end.

Truthfully if your trying to mini tub your car and are concerned about 350 dollar tubs, I would rethink what your getting into. The tubs from dse are a no brainer but that expense is not too bad compared to what it will cost after the tubs. Good luck. Mini tubbing really is great.

I'm with these guys, support an American company instead of Dynacorn and their made in Chinese crap.

buy USA made when ever and as much as possible its best decision any way you look at it.
