Ok I just got done mini-tubbing my duster. A few people had asked for more pictures, one thing led to another, and I ended up making a 28 page powerpoint "how to" guide. I never intended on doing anything like this, so I didn't really have all of the pictures I needed. I had to sketch some of it.

Anyway. . . take a look. I'll add the spring relocate to it later, I just ran out of time. (and honestly after making 28 pages of mini-tub, I was just plain sick of working on it!!! hahaha)

It's about 7 MB so it will take a little while to down load, but I think it's worth it for anyone who's thinking about doing it.

Let me know what you guys think!

Thats cool and honestly I don't see why it has to be limited to just A Bodies!
That could pretty much be applied to any car. ~Mike~

Only one beer can that happened to show up in the pics. . .not only one beer can for the total project!!!

Thanks for the replies, I hope that this does help any of you thinking about doing it!

I wish I would have taken just a few more pictures, then you guys wouldn't have to decipher my crappy sketches, and handwritting?

Guess I didn't get any of those artistic gene's passed down from my grandfather huh? (who by the way was the stylist for the '63 Dodge (rear half) '64 plymouth (whole car) !)
