mini tub help
I am in the middle of installing mini tubs and I have a question. It looks like I can just cut on the seam of the old tub? I am using the wolf kit. Any help would be great.

Re: mini tub help
Find my thread for pics of what to cut. You remove the inner half at the seam flush to bushing for shock mount

Re: mini tub help
I looked at your thread. Allot of the pictures do not come up anymore. I am not talking about the inside of the tub I am talking where the new tub half meets up with the stock tub half. There is a stock seam right in the middle. I will try and take pictures of it tonight.

Re: mini tub help
I got the driver tub about 70 percent done. I was totally over thinking this. One last request. How did you guys finish the tubs off by the fuel filler neck and fuel door? Anyone have pics of the inside of the wheel well facing the filler neck.

Re: mini tub help
Daverr, whose tubs are those, custom made? Looks like I need to notch the frame on mine like several others have done, but it makes the Wolfe racecraft pieces a lot more of a hassle

Instead of subbing to all of these dead threads you might want to try google image search.

All the pictures will be at your disposal and are linked to the individual threads.
