Does anybody have a video or pictures showing the installation of the U.S. Car Tools mini-tub kit? Their web page is pretty vague.
Mounting my car on a rotisserie tomorrow and will start on moving the spring mounts. Then I'll attempt the mini-tubs. Wish me luck.Many folks on here have done it. Haven't seen a video but your in the right spot to ask questions. Good luck

Be careful doing a lot of surgery cutting in certain areas on the car while in a rotiser. I didn't do a mini tub but did do a lot of similar stuff on my b-bod. During which I had it on leveled bolt-on stands to keep it straight, until it was back to complete unibody strength before going in my rotis. And everything removable off to keep it as light as possible.Mounting my car on a rotisserie tomorrow and will start on moving the spring mounts. Then I'll attempt the mini-tubs. Wish me luck.

Start here. This is my thread. You might want to consider dehumping the outer half of the wheeltub also. I wish I had done it earlier in the process! If you have any questions feel free to send me a question.
Luck granted sir!Mounting my car on a rotisserie tomorrow and will start on moving the spring mounts. Then I'll attempt the mini-tubs. Wish me luck.
If you go far enough in the thread you'll see how I did it, pretty simple.I'm not replacing the quarter panels. So how do I dehump the outer half? Currently she's just a shell.
I agree! You should pick out your tire wheel combo before getting to far. Back in the day I ran 15 x 10 centerlines with a 5 1/4 backspace with stock spring location and 15x12s with a 7 1/4 back space if I remember right. I moved my axle back about 1 " with my current set up.
