Looking for a Nostalgia look, need pictures of tub work and tire sizes by moving springs in 3-inches and splitting inner tub to widen. Anyone have good pictures or experience? I want to run DOT M/T or Quicktime Pro on wheels... Thanks, Ed

I'm so proud of you for going against the grain. By the way, cragar has a 61015-spec. It's a special order backspace 10" S/S wheel. No need to cut the axle that way. Check it out on summit's website.

Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

Thanks, so did you go tight to the side of the rail and trim off the flange on the top of the rail? Any bottom shots?
That is what I did, but I also boxed the inside of the frame rails. I have 335's on the back and there is a good 2" of additional space for going wider. Look at mnitubs link on my web site v10mopar.com

I'm in the middle of mini-tubbing my '69 Roadrunner. I've never done one before so its a learn as I go process. It looks and sounds like a simple job, but you do have to use your brain a little and that hurts. I have pics of my car in the Projects section, but I haven't posted any of the mini-tubs yet. I will post them when after I finish the tubs. Also I did use my original inner fenders, but if I had thought of buying new ones I would have looked into possibly going that route. Oh well. Anyway my tubs are installed, I just need to finish welding and blending in the extra strip of sheetmetal so it won't look to obvious.
