VL Commodore goes on a diet: How to Tub a VL: BackyardBuilds

Tom goes through how to cut out the original tubs from this VL commodore to fit the monstrous 22x12 rim the owner has requested. As Tom states in the video please check the rules and with your local engineer on how to go about this task. If you would like to support the channel please see the link below.

Omg I love that wheel way it sits in the wheel weld ...Look I thank very much for sharing I purchased a 1969 Chevy nova a they tub with metal but look like a drum all the way across it has a 4 link and I have cut the quarter panels cause the ties are sitting in too close to the 4link and buying new wheels need more back space over I love this set up you done I need to watch more how it came out KEEP up the good work

..totally agree ..i love tubs and 871 superchargers !!

[@Camac1000]

Nice job, those forged wheels are phat! I’m surprised you can’t purchase a replacement narrowed rail set to stitch it given how many people like the big wheels.

[@BackyardBuilds]

Cheers Cam, Tom has been busy templating it to possibly make a kit.

how much is work like his cost from start to finish with the mc Donald mini tub

[@BackyardBuilds]

Hard to give an exact figure, as everyone would do it differently, depends on what tubs, diff, shocks, what’s the use of the car, backseat? To many variables to put a number on it.

[@BackyardBuilds]

@@johnfiftos7953 to be honest mate. I’m unsure the customer supplied both but they were both purchased at ozzy tyres

[@BackyardBuilds]

It’s a friends car he has consulted an engineer and he has spoken to them on how that want to see it done. As Tom said in one of the earlier videos it’s best to talk to one before starting.
