Re: Mini tubs

this is the closest you will find, but its for a 4th gen, sound be close.

most people make their own, using universal tubs and fabricating the rest.

I did a mini tub, built it all from scratch. Its a LOT of work. Do you really need that much room? what are you planning to do with the car? what wheel/tire sizes are you looking to run?

Re: Mini tubs

I am running 275/40-17 on a 9.5X17 rim. I am changing from a 430hp 356 cu. in. to 550hp 427cu. in. The 275/40-17 is barely enough tire with the old engine. This is a fully built road race car.
