I have a 69 mustang coupe and want to minitub it, however I cannot find minitubs anywhere for my car. If anyone has done this I would appreciate their input on the project and where they got their minitubs.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Has anyone done this and had a full interior??
Will the widened fenders allow the side pannels to attach where they are supposto?

Fostang said:Hakan do you have a pic of how well the rear tires fit now? They are rought about the same size as the tires I want to fit but would like to see how they look. Do you think you have enough room for 2 inches more of tire?
Fostang said:no thats way more than what I plan on doing.
I just want to be able to fit 315 35 17 tires in the rear with a 17x10.5 rim.
I think simply going to where the stock frame is should be enough.

My 9" came from a 1969 bronco. It has not been cut or altered in anyway. It fit right under. You are correct, I use a 6.5" backspace. And yes the wheelwell can be altered without messing with the interior. The inner wheelwell is rounded toward the front of the tire keeping it about 3" from the back of the wheelwell. I simply split the wheelwell in half, removed the inner portion along with about 1.5" of floor over to the frame rail. I bought a piece of sheet metal and made a half circle top and a back for it and welded it in place(kinda like a half a tub). I was sure to keep it back far enough for the fiberglass interior to clear it. I actually have room for a slightly wider tire but i liked the look of the 12 so i went with it and it seems to be working.
