Thats a full tub.

Talk to eric 66accobra he did a mini on a notch.

I did it on my fastback.

Not a hard job if I would have had what comes in those kits and needed to fab it.

wolfe is the kit to go with, hands doen

I have done an autoweld kit (same as team z), it wasnt bad, but require more work that the wolfe kit

check out wolfe's site and look at the mini tub pics

i dont have time to explain a lot know but I could talk to you tomorrow night if you are truley serious

it is a lot of work, and you have to be a decent welder/fabricator to do it, dont need to tig anything but you will have to be good with a mig and a saw zall

having a plasma cutter and a torch is very usefull but you dont have to have one

and for the record I have done two min tubs, thanks sal [Big Grin]

and just to stir the pot

the blackish notch in the above pic is using a wolfe kit

you have to mod the tubs a little, but its not a big deal, very minor compared to the rest of the work, it is done after the install in the car, took about half and hour to do it the right way, the wrong way would about a minute with a hmmer but it would look like ass

they have to be modded because the stock trunk lid hinges hit the tubs before it closes all the way

that black notch still has the factory lid torsion springs too, so it doesnt need the proverbial stick that all mustang have in the trunk [Big Grin]
