yeah, all of those pics were taken before we installed the mini-tubs. the first set of pictures (http://teamprickracing.com/%2708%20updates/album/) were taken just after the mini-tub job, but do not show the car on the ground.

The way that purple car sits is what I'm after, but I want to do that with a 31 inch tire, and narrow the rear up enough so the top of the tire is inside the wheel well.

it can be done, you'll just have to get extended tubs from Wolfe. Like I said before, I don't have any pictures of what it looks like installed, but I do have some of the mustang we did. The car will have to be painted, if you're spot welding the tubs to the quarter panels. I think the fiberglass idea is a good option, but i've never done it that way.

So let me as this...can the wolfe tubs be done w/o cutting into the spring perches?
I ask because I would like to keep my suspension in the stock configuration as much as possible. Lots of good info in here Im definitely wanting to go with mini's after reading this thread!

mine on a 28 x 13.50 x 15 on a 15x12 alumastar



mini-tubbed with coilovers, could probably go a little lower

Looks good, I want that look on a 31 inch tire though.

Mine will go alot further down on the tire. On the fender side I cut out the curved part of the factory tub right next to the fender and made a 90* piece about 8 inches long and fiberglassed it in. I could make mine 1.5 inches lower in the rear, I street drive too much and the headers are torn up at the height it is now.

But on a 31 tall tire that low is gonna be tough.

I'm not sure if it's possible or not, I was told last night that it may not be, becuase the rear end will be about hitting the frame rails, I didn't even think of that.

A 29.5x10.5x15S tire was the original tire I wanted to use, 15W was the other option since the stuff I want to run will allow a W tire (max of a 33x10.5x15W, which there's no way I'm getting that in without back 1/2ing the car which at this point I don't want to do)

Yea they are correct. This little 28" tire car im building needs the frame rail notched out for the axle housing tube.

for the guys that are lowered that much, what are you doing for shocks, mine is pretty low now with a mini tub on 325s but my afcos are just about bottomed out. are you moving the shock mount or using different shocks?

promod1955

iTrader: (44)

changing the mount height to get the proper shock install height

mad_steve

iTrader: (2)

you are correct

we cut the old spring perches out, and replace them with the wolfe spring re-locates.

cut a couple of ribs off the bump stops (blue poly bumpstop) on the shock's piston. This will give you enough travel w/out having to move the shock.
