Anyone minitub a 65 Chevelle?

[41565 chevelle]

I have major rust on the trunk floor and both inner and outer wheelhouses. It looks as though I can do the stock trunk floor kit and get some more tire room with some mini tubs vs. the stock inner and outer replacments. Any guidence would be great!

I know that it is a wagon but we used stock inner and outers from Sherman and Assoc

and added a strip of metal down the middle.

Don't think you'll get much clearance -- the wheel tubs are pretty close to the frame rails back there.

This 65 has been mini-tubbed. Custom tubs were built to allow as much room as possible. I'm running a 20x9.5 with a 4.5 backspacing. It fits, but I have to unbolt the shocks and air-ride suspension to get the wheels mounted. :woot:
