You can't get much under them stock.

With the springs moved under the frame and a mini tub I got an N50-15 M&H or a 28X12.5 MT or a 28X10 slick.

Leon, that's my question: if you mini-tub a '64-'66 B'cuda, do you have to move the whole long wheelhouse, or can you? Or do you have to make a half-round intrusion into the rear compartment?

The wheelhouse is the same as a Valiant. The interior panels are removable. My Barracuda is mini-tubbed with 295/50's.

THAT looks sweet, Commando! Can you still use the back seat, etc?

I really like 64-65 Valiants, allot, allot




So what's wrong with 63?

FYI, my first car in high school was a '65 Formula S Barracuda. What a ride for a youngster. The fold down back seat and trunk panel made for some good times too.

Thanks, Commando - so they can be mini-tubbed and still run stock interior, if I understand you correctly (and if you understood me correctly).

You will have to add some strips to the interior pieces just like adding to the tubs. You'll have narrow the pan that makes the cargo floor flat. I haven't worked out the back seat yet.

Here's a couple more pics of my friends car that B1fish540 requested. The paint job has already been copied by a few other people and even some GM owners. The inside looks just as good as the outside but I don't have any pics of the inside. But could get some I'm sure.
