mini tub pictures

15 X 12 with a 7 inch back space. Tires are 29 - 14.5 hooziers. I moved the rear back 1/2 inch and quarters front 3/4 inch.

They just touch when turning onto an upgrade. In the rear it was just scuffing the paint. That is why I added the little stainless mud flaps. Now the tires only touch there once in awhile, I plan on replacing them with 28 - 14.5 Something I should have used from the start .

I used the wheels off the Belidere below for fitment for the back space when we did the work. Yes its a Hemi 4spd car Started life as a 383 4spd. Was raced in Canada out of Allentown Pa. Its still setting down the street in a Barn where I put it next to a Red 67 GTX 440 4spd. In about the same condition. Both are covered with Boxes and Dust next to another Duster Drag car.

I keep saying one day. But probably not. If any they will probably Be in My sons future. I took The Dart pictured above that was sitting next to them and brought it home. I should have left it there. The Dart was a Hemi car also but originally a 340 4spd. The problem is I sell things and then regret it. I am better off leaving them where they are. I the K-frame is still in the 65, The Hemi was sold to a good freind but I am getting it back shortly. I kebt the dana out of the 68 dart. I am concetrating on my one 71 Duster right now. Then I will move on to the next. If I get over to the 65 I will take pics of That old school tubbing. What a disaster On Those welds . But It is a piece of History. I LIKE BIG TIRES ON CARS . I DON'T LIKE THE LOOKS OF CARS WITH SKINNIES ON THE REAR. I can remember driving my original 69 Corronet R/t's , I had two. One in 71 and another in 73. If you wanted to pass you had to get it out into the other lane before you touched the throttle. Otherwise you would lose go sideways . The 70' series bias ply tires er rediculas on these cars. anyone who left them on was a fool. The biggest tire and wheel that I had on My RR's were 9 inch with L60 15 on the street. and 10 - 15 firestone slicks. Tubbing back then was not common. You would see alot of cars with air shocks and shackles and Tires sticking 6 inches out of the quarters. Guys would cut an flare there fenders to fit tires they bought. Rather then by the tires that would fit. By big and deep and worry about the fit when they came. Wel lI can go on but someone just pulled in.
