Mini tubs- wish they were made for our cars

The DSE Mini-Tubs are inner wheel housings designed to accommodate wider tire and wheel packages, including tires as wide as 295

I can find stock replacements

I'm looking for wide tubs,
will find them after I finish making my stock one wider

Even if someone made wider tubs there is still cutting and welding involved, its just as easy to widen the stock ones.

Unless you plan on cutting the frame, I see little to be gained by using after market tubs.. I'd rather just do the standard minitub,, using a 2 - 3 inch strip of sheet metal,, worth may $5.00..

Plenty of threads about min-tubs..

hope it helps..

I sent a custom metal shop a blueprint of all the dimensions I wanted and he sent me a set that fit real nice and are made of 16 gauge steel... of course I still had to trim them to fit up but not a bad install, So anything is possible depending on your determination, research and budget.

Does that interfere with your back seat?

I had to do some minor notching in the corners, but it was a very easy fix.

Take your time cutting the stock ones out nicely...or you will end up doing CUSTOM tubs like I am now.

Buy yourself a really good spot weld cutter bit,a sawzall and two 3x50 inch metal strips.Cut out and weld in yourself.I did it to my 66 Dart,working 5hrs a night after work,it took me a week to do it.

x2 took me the same amount of time. There's a minitub how-to PDF floating around somewhere in my e-mail if you want it.

I just use my originals and customized them. I am also using my back seat.

My Cuda is still in body shop hell, Its a 68 Fastback, mini tubbed.. I trimmed the back seat bottom so that is fits, easy trim job , but do you have any pics of how you did the back, does it still fold down ?

DonnieLawson · Mar 29, 2014

I need to see how to do my back seat correctly..... I want it to fold down

davescuda · Mar 29, 2014

I got my back seat to fold down but I did not take any picture of the fab work or it installed. Will have to wait till install. Here the rear installed before paint.

Mini tubs- wish they were made for our cars
