Dynacorn vs DSE tubs

Chassisworks has been around since 1987, in case you were wondering, but Chris original company was building drag and Can-Arm cars as far back as the 70s.

Here's a link to a good install article of our tubs on a 69 floor pan from Super Chevy - http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/pai...eating-floors/

Here's the set going in Steve Rupp's Track Rat '68 - http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/pro...-tubs-install/

And LSXTV's Project Blank Slate '69 - http://www.lsxtv.com/tech-stories/br...l-over-system/ Side Note: they didn't read/fully read the g-Link install directions which state that the frame brackets are to be stitch welded.

ok Carl you touched on to something here I was thinking about. I have the G-bar set up on my camaro. I had a shop weld it up. I'm assuming I'm going to have to cut some of that back and re weld it.

second, How do I get around the lower control arms not hitting the tires..

I'm going to read all of those articles.

A little feedback from the install.. It all went well, Rich didn't experience any problems during installation, (other than running out of Bud Lite).
Fitment was good, close out panels fit well.
Overall tubs seemed as good as DSE, and vise versa. This is the second car of mine that I mini-tubbed and the parts were both well made.

Just a question are the DSE and Chassisworks the same size?? I thought the Chassisworks were not as wide?? Not sure that's why I'm asking?

Does the Chassisworks kit now include closeouts that fit the 67?

Are you talking about installing the mini-tub and modifying the bracket on the frame rail? You should just be able to cut it back then stitch weld the new edge together.

Clearance with the lower control arm, on the current version, is increased if you order the offset pivots. CLICK "IMAGES" TAB AT LINK HERE.

They have always fit the '67. There are additional cutouts that we now include which will ONLY be used if you have a '67 non-staggered-shock car.


I like this pic!

I was wondering the same thing.

I am pretty sure both tubs are 2.75" bigger than stock.

Carl,

My g-bar is at least 4 years old and looks different from your link. Can I call you directly?

[Chassisworks]

I can confirm that ours are 2.75" wider than stock.

Yeah, my extension is 247. I'll probably have you email me a pic so we can be on the same page.
