    Default Mini tub my 94 Formula

    Here is a work in progress, mini tub. This will allow a 315/60 15 M/T ET Drag Radial to fit with room to spare

    Here are a few pics of pass side well (the hardiest one to do). Needs a bit more welding and then sealer.

    The mini tubs are done today, hope to have a few pics of the finished product soon. Just a note, on the 93-97 birds the 315/60-15 MT Drag Radials would fit in the stock wheel well with some work and the correct wheel off set but it will be tight. I wanted to be able to put a larger tire on it down the road if needed so I did this now while it is down and being worked on. The Wolfe mini tube kit took a lot more work than was expected so beware people.

    tubs finished.

    Also I want to correct what I said about the Wolfe kit, their kit would be no different than any other kit and it is the 93-02 f body cars that are the reason it is so hard to do.

    Here are a few more pics, the wheel is just set in the wheel well and may be off a bit as to actual placement.

    More pics in the next day or so. The mini tub job is now finished and reflecting back it would have been just as easy to make the tubs from scratch. It took a lot of "re working" to get the kit to fit and would have been done in half the time had it been known what to cut rather than cutting off a little at a time. All in all it looks good and the M/T 315/60 DRs fit nicely
