Default Mini tubs in a convertable
Anyone on here done just this? I am considering it myself, but was wondering the differences from a coupe. Will there be issues with the top? Rear seats, can they remain? These are the two crucial questions.

I bought the tubs from wolfe racecrafters but have never gotten around to attempting to put them in. The more I look at it the bigger the job becomes!

My WS.6 is mini-tubbed. I've still got the back seats even though I'm going to pull them out. I'm not sure about what all is different between the hard top and convertible F-Bodies. Post up some pics and I'll do the same.

Definitely a big job. I ended up having ProCage in SoCal do mine for me, I couldn't be happier!
