I don't have any digital pics of mine to post, but could get some today. The main things to watch are the ridge of the outter wheelwell. It curves in to clear the back of the quarter panel,but the factory left lots of extra room you'll need. Take the outter out,split it where it will interfere,and weld a patch in the gap. Also be warned that if you maximize the distance you move the springs themselves in,they will likely hit the lip around the gas tank(deadblow fix) and force modification of the gas filler tube in the spring area. If you measure and fit everything to the max you can get a 315-60-15 M/Tdrag radial in and still be able to slide your fingers past both sides of it. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r461/FriedDonuts/P1000654-1.jpg Not the best pic, but you get the idea.

Thanks, your car is beautiful. What did you do about the trunk brackets? Do you have any pics of the inside of the trunk? Thanks again.

Very easy to do, I did a mini-tub on my 67 Coronet a few years back. since then, I have added a stock width dana and am able to run 325x50x15 MT drag radials with plenty of room underneath. I posted these pics quite some time ago when this was a hot topic on here... the member on here by the name of Dragram also has done the same. Hope this helps.

Dave in your last picture it looks like you just eliminated the "L" bracket for the bracket on the trunk springs and just welded it straight to the wider inner fender. Pretty nice.

So why did you remove the entire inner wheel well DOAH! What I had intended to ask, was "Why did you remove the outer wheel well", but you just explained that was to repair some rust issues. I had never seen anyone remove both sides of the wheel well tubs just to widen the inner tubs a couple of incehes. Thanks for clearing that up

You remove the inner wheel tub and trim the trunk floor to get the tub right up against the frame rail. Then you add in the section between the tubs to rejoin them. Move the leaf springs in board and voila instant room for large tires
