    I hope you phosphoric acid washed before undercoating. I have heard of issues with previous rust continuing under the undercoat if you don’t chemically kill the rust first,

      I did not, the car has no rust. It lived in a very dry climate and looks garage kept. Thanks for the heads up buddy!

    Looks fantastic, what’s the wheel set up? Rim size/off set and tire size. About to be starting a 73 Ventura project that I’ve been sitting on for almost 6 months and if I can get it looking anything close to your figment I would be ecstatic.

      After installing the DSE mini tubs you should end up with 14" width of clearance and plenty of inside height clearance. I had my Quick performance 9" cut to 56" mounting surface to mounting surface. My wheels are custom American racing Torq Thrust II's 18" x 11" with 6" Backspace. Tires are Nitto NT555 G2's 315/40ZR18 and have about 5/8" side to side clearance. The tire is 28" in diameter and have 2" front and rear clearance. I could fit a 30" diameter tire but it would be tight but doable! You will love the look when finished and worth the work involved!

    Ray, it looks like your tires would have fit without nothing the frame rails? Is that the case?

    • @RaysGarage
      @RaysGarage  4 місяці тому

      No, for the tubs to fit the frame rails need to be narrowed in the rear to fit, tubs are 14” wide. My tires are 13” wide.

    Ray I am doing basically the same build. Expect doing a speedrech toque arm set up. My question is. Did you narrow the rear end. If so how did you come up with the measurement. I’m running the same size tire 315’s

    • @RaysGarage
      @RaysGarage  10 місяців тому

      Yes, narrowed the rear axle. The rear axle with Wilwood rotors is 56" from mounting surface to mounting surface. My rear 18"x11" wheels have a 6" back space and are perfectly centered in the tubs with .625" clearance inside and out. So depending on your wheels backspace will determine your overall width.

    You need a mini split ac/heat pump Ray, especially living in the desert. Hard to compare with the sweet 9 inch rear end, 4 link and mini tubs. Priorities. 😅

      I agree, Mr. Cool agreed to provide a system then backed out for some unknown reason, maybe it was the Trump flag or the Let's go Brandon signs! Regardless, I'll put a system in at some point. Mr Cool should step up and follow up with our agreement, if not so be it!

    • @RaysGarage
      @RaysGarage  4 місяці тому +1

      I ended up going with 315/40ZR18’s on 18x11’s with 6” backspace the 315/40’s filled the wheel tubs much better. The 9” is 56” mounting surface to mounting surface with the Wilwood rotors.

      Hi Charles, The Detroit Speed tubs are about $500, Quick Performance 9" rear axle was about $2800 complete, the Ridetech rear cradle with double adjust bars and weld on brackets ran about $2000
