Good luck if you do it to the family car lol that would be sick! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Team SOLO</b> <br /><small>Member # 722</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,3,29,13,55,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> There are two types of mini tubs to consider:<br /><br />1. Extension of the 'inner tub' which just extends the same height/length of the stock tub towards the frame rail.<br /><br />2. Replacement of complete tub (inner and outer) with a taller and longer wheel tub to allow the car to be lowered while still having the ability to run a 315 drag radial or 30" slick with ease. <br /><br />My black car runs a stock tub but we are mini tubbing the new car. We decided to build carbon fiber tubs for it and have the Wolfe Racecraft version explained in #2 above available for sale. PM if interested... <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
