Mini-tub Feedback
Ok Guys i have made a decision to do My own Min-tube on My 69 camaro this winter...i would like to hear any feedback from someone that has ever done this Kind of Work.
i am Looking at the Kits They sell...far as i can tell i will have to weld in the Tubs and the upper cross member for the shock re-location.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated....need to get all the info i can before starting this project..
also any recommendations on company's that sells these Kits ?

My 69 Camaro was minitubbed before I got it. The back seat still fitted fine. The shocks were moved inboard but the ride was terrible. It had a mono leaf set up with tramp bars etc. I finished up ripping out the mono leaf and putting in a Comp Eng. adjustable Ladder Link set up with coil overs. It was 100% better.
I could fit 28x14.5 x 15 tires on no problem without flaring the rear guards even with the mono leaf.
