Anyone other than wolfe making mini tubs?
I ordered a set of mini tubs about three weeks ago and there still in the same stage as they told me last week.I don't want my weekends flying by with nothing to do because im waiting on parts.Is there anyone having any luck using an alternative minitub?

As far as I know they are just a 36" tub, that's what I used the 1st time before I went to a full tub.
If you're going to cut out all of the metal, making the pieces to box in the frame are easy, took me maybe 1 hour or less to trace, make a template, cut the metal, bend it to shape and clean it up ready to be tacked in.
If you're doing the work yourself, you can do it for under 200.00
Look at my mini tubbing post it has a lot of photos and if you have the tools you can make any of the pieces any kit comes with very easily and inexpensive.

I just ordered a set last week. I wish I would have seen this thread before I ordered them. Any word on them? Will I have to wait 4 or 5 weeks on these as well or was that just a slow time for them?

If you mini-tub you need a 36" tub. If you're gonna go full tub, go with 40". I'm gonna make my 36" full tubs work, but you will be able to lower the car alot more with the bigger tub. The 36" tub will give you just a touch more room than the stock outer fender.

Okay, I talked with Wolfe today and got the low down on the tubs. Apparently the person that cuts them did them wrong or something and Wolfe had to send the entire shipment back to have them redone. They are expecting the shipment back today and Wolfe said they would immediately ship them out as they have orders for about 14 sets. Just thought I would update this thread. I called in fear that my tubs would not be here for months!!..
