Where is the picture of the tubs? If you did all that work, show them off.
 
What are the rest of your plans for the car? Looks like what I want to do to a cuda/dart! Man there is nothing cooler than a 67-69 cuda or dart with mini-tubs.

I have a 440 with the 440Source 505 stroker kit , Cnc'd Stealth heads , 950 Holly , Victor intake , Comp solid cam , 727 tranny , 3.73 Dana 60.
Im still thinking about what color to paint it . Maybe black or a brandywine shade .
I have all new interior for the factory buckets , I plan on using the factory rear seat if I can get it to work .
I have a AAR fiberglass good with the hemi SuperStock scoop .

Its a weekend cruiser that I hope to be a white knuckle ride if I ever get it done

That's just awesome. Remember to take TONS of pics for me. And how bout some pics of those tubs and the springs?

I gotta ask though... what backspacing/width wheel is that and what brand/size tire? Just relocated springs and tubs?
 
Looks absolutly Great Donnie! I have the mini tub work complete on my 67 dart, but have not worked on it much since last winter, and i hope to get back to work on it this winter. Congrats and looking great!

Me too,I,m also doing a minitub on my 66 Dart this winter.I,m really digging those rims you have on the back.What are they and where,d ya get them from.Thanks
 
rims were from Jegs ,
Torq-Thrust D Series 105 Wheel
Size: 15'' x 10''
Bolt Circle: 5 x 4-1/2''
Rear Spacing: 3-3/4''
286-105-5165

Tires also
# Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Tire P325/50R15(28'' x 13.5'' - 15'')
# R2 Compound
# Special Sidewall Construction for Quicker Launches

Dana is 51" from wheel to wheel , this includes the Willwood rotors .
SuperStock springs were de-arched 2" to make me happy with the stance .
Car is mini tubbed to the frame rails ,
In these pics there in no motor or tranny in the car , it still has the factory K member , I have a 74 K member with disc brake and large bolt pattern to install yet , them the front rims will be on to match the rear .
I will post more pics of the work soon
Thanks for all the kind words on my car , Im hoping it turns out well if I ever get it all finished , Now I need to decide on a color .......

I love tubbed a-bodies. I am in the process of doing the same thing to my dart. I am running the same size BFG rubber, but I am using a narrowed 9" and 4-link.

Do they sell these rims with a bigger backspace?Sorry,I,m in Canada and we don,t have a Jegs.
 
The pics of the front view confirm that this thing is going to be badas*
 
A few more pics , I slid the AAR Super stock hood on it , I need to change the hood springs , I have the light weight springs , But Im going to change them when I yank the fenders off .
I just had to see how the scoop would look.
