mini tub while quarters off.

[littleman66]

so i have been get lots of progress done in the past little while...

i am close to putting the quarter panels on,

but my question is should i mini-tub while the quarters are off? taking a long look at my car and it doesnt look like a walk in the park to mini-tub it.

the plans are a 4 speed 408 stroker...so i dont think just inboarding the springs and cal-tracs will do.



are there any good write up other then bigblockdarts tech page?

By mini-tubbing do you mean stretching the factory wheelhouses 3 inches or going with aftermarket tubs?
If your using the factory one's it would be easier with the qtrs. off it will give you more room to work.
I'm going the aftermarket route since my wheelhouses were all rotted,this is probably a little more than you want to get into.

nice work. but this is a tame build im doing. first build or any sort


so you guys figure using mono leafs/cal tracs and inboarding would do the trick?

If your mini-tubbing your not gonna gain anything without moving the springs in.
I'm not sure yet what i'm gonna use for springs,probably end up using super-stock springs.

Just dont mix caltrac and superstock you will have a monster

haha yeah i know....heard it many, many times.

but it seriously doesnt make much sence. these superstock springs must work pretty neat
