E body seats tear down and painting engine bay
I have never made mini tubs, just bout every thing else You are a welder! Sheet of 20 ga plate is $33 or18 ga is what $50? A few cutoff wheels on the right angle grinder is $10 and some mig wire!!!! A litttle cut here and weld there!!! Spent a total of what, $50?? Like why would anyone pay for kit to tie frame frames?Playing with the idea of a home made minitub. I have a spring relocation kit from uscartool, I have a part dart with an excellent trunk pan and stock tubs(only good sheet metal left on the car), I am a welder...anyone do it before? I could spend the $280 on the kit but it seems so simple to do...

Anyone recommend a good seam sealer? Preferably one that matches factory?

A bit of a time lapse here. I couldn't find any info anywhere on replacing a spring mount. I took 1000 measurements, made my own reference points and went for it. Used a bob to make reference points on the floor as well.I wouldnt recommend fixing a frame this way, but I also added weld inside the frame after I made the cut for the spring relocation for safe measure. In conjunction with the US Cartool kit, I'd say its stronger than it was before Going to finish the relocation kit this weekend
