mini tubbed and moved the rear back 1.5"
« on: January 20, 2008, 06:08:22 PM »

So i just got my dart back on the ground. I'm using the new hoosier 315/60 drag radials on 12" rims.(11.5x30) After i did it the tires were sitting against the quarters so i moved the rear back 1.5" What do you guys think?

I have ladder bars under there, so i just cut it the ladderr bar xmember out and moved it back.  If i didn't i would have just offset drilled the perches. I do it for the Syclones andTyphoons as they have the same problem.

Your car looks awesome! I had a 69 swinger painted that color.It's Charger Red.I'm mini-tubbing right now. I've inboarded the springs saving the outer side rail. I also picked up some Summit 36" tubs. I'm keeping my gas tank so I'm going to trim the forward side of the wheel opening to fit the tire better. I have 10" rims.Now I'm wondering if I should have bought 12".My tubs will be flush with the sides of the rail.Looks like I'll have about a 15" wide openings. What width does your tires measure and did you narrow or move your rails? I'm holding off on tires until I can get everything hung uder and measure.I made my own subframe connectors out of 1 1/2" x 3" rectangular stock.They fit nice over the existing rear frame and lay flush up front on the torsion frame.They butt up even with the rear floorpan so you can plugweld the whole rear floorpan to them.I'll make a post and add pics when I find my camera(lost?).I'm a newbie,but you'll be hearing more from me now that I'm started on my 440 Source stroker 500 GSS style street car.

Bigtime...

I sent you an e-mail.  If you want to send me your pics of the rear which are too dark i can lighten them in a program and shoot them back to you or post them up on the board.

Hi Dave, The springs and floaters are still there. I took all the leaves out except the 2 main leaves. When I get some time I'll put it up and snap some pics.
