Upgrades to the Camaro---Mini Tubs!!!
 

On the road to SEMA the race car is coming along nicely. Just got the car back from MTK's Welding and Race Cars in Roselle, NJ. Let me just say they job they did was awesome!

They put in custom mini tubs and cut out alot of additional weight. I didnt do the mini tubs because of tire size, i did it cause they look cool :devil: and knock some weight off.

Did mini tubs
Made custom gas filler neck
Fuel pump access door
Got rid of t top well
Got rid of spare tire well
Got ride of rear seat indents
Installed the Burkart Chute and put in the chute handle
And alot of small stuff i just didnt have time to do.

Can ya say 3000lbs race weight with driver :eek2:

Check it out !!!!

Now its at Everlast Interiors to get a custom carpet, then its come back and we put the car back together and then its off to paint.

And yes the stickers are going back on the car.

Hope to get some passes in the middle of october. 8s here i come!

how much total weight saved?

does the filler neck on the tank stick through the pipe we see in the pic? I take it that's the stock tank your running.

still running the EVAP?

Looks Awesome!!!!!!! :thumb:

Stickers suck! :thumbsdow

Wondering how much saved as well..

looks good berry .. . no way id put thoes sticers on new paint

What do the stickers read?

Mike

looks awesome man i am doin the same thing to mine currently ....

They did a good job with that, looks real good. I like the bead-roll in the trunk pan, how stiff is it with them in there? Should be pretty good from the looks.

Looking good Barry...
Get that junk back together and lets go racing :thumb:

The measure weight saved was around 60-65lbs.

Still have the stock tank that is what a new filler neck was made.

Should have the car back on thursday from the interior guy.

60-65 is great.. Have a round about price on the work you had done?

Here ya go...

LOL the stickers are pretty funny

just saw this and thats alot of great work! did they use alum or thin steel? impressive work, and love the stickers hope to see some more pictures!!

Subscribed...Can you take some pics from under the car where the rear seat pans were? I'm planning on doing something very similar, also thinking about the mini tubs too. I'd like to run a 335/35/17 without having to flare my fenders :)

Looks great though, I can't wait to see how the interior came out

Yeah, that's pretty neat.

Additional Info?
 

Hey! Absolutely Awesome Job!
I am setting up my 91 and this is exactly what I am looking to do. I was wondering if you have any additional pictures and/or information. Did you cut the notch out of the frame and did you have to get a different spring? If so, what spring did you use? Did they have to put it on a frame rack? Was the cage in before you cut out the inner structure?
Sorry for all the quesitons. I have found little info on the web for this.
Thanks!
