MINITUB?? or NOT???

[jeffandre]

The trunk is tighter when minitubbed, which is precisely why I built a recessed fuel cell containment box with a removeable bottom section so that I can pop up into the trunk (with cell removed of course) and get to everything. I'm 40 now and getting in and of the trunk is close to impossible at times...Pics will be available in a month or two.

We have done a few of DSEs tubs now. One on a killer painted car, no problems. 40 hours is correct for a coupe, more for a convertible. Make sure they tape moving blankets over the panels, then cover the blankets with 4 mil plastic sheeting (not the thin paint plastic sheeting).
If the guy is a pro, it should be no problem.

I guess I'm tall, I never had to get into the trunk, I just leaned WAY in, and did a lot from inside the car.( YES MY BACK STILL HURTS)
I would do it for 1500.00 for a friend, but not a penny less, it is a lot of work. and given the choice I would wait untill ALL the fab work is done before painting, just easier,safer,better end results.
what are you going to do for shock mounts,spring relocation,fuel tank..? theres a lot more to it, then just getting the tubs installed.
