It looks like straight sheetmetal. Just cut one radius piece and a long rectangle. Curve the rectangular piece along the radius and voila, you have a tub. Awesome job.

Yes springs and Lca's stay in the stock locations, but the rear springs have been converted over to 2.5 wide springs for more clearance

Maybe we can get a 29.5/10.5 WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW under there. That would make the car hook on all 600 out of the hole.

I bet I could do both tubs in 2 full days, I would spend 1 day Cutting Everything out....I cut out 22LBS per side

And the next day I would build the new Tubs they weigh about 4-5 lbs per side

Not that I would want to build another set
