Pastor Scott, you did a great job and saved a lot of money in the process. I was a Machinist by trade until I injured myself on the job. I'm not a sheet metal or a body man, but the fitment issue you had is the shape of the wheelhouse. It's on an angle that goes into a radius and trying to fit a flat piece of sheet metal is never going to be easy. You need a strip of sheet metal cut from an arc to fit the shape you're working with. Yes, everyone commenting is an arm chair quarterback that knows it all. I certainly don't claim to know it all, if I did, I'd be lying to myself as well as to you. Thanks for sharing your amazing Mustang Coupe to Fastback build and for sharing your faith in Almighty God and His son Jesus.
Not sure if anyone's suggested this or not. When you cut the sheet metal to widen the tubs. If you start at the top of the arch of the metal(top of the wheel tub) clamp it, and work your metal down to the bottom edges, I think it will be easier for you to attach it without it oil canning on you. Hope it works for your next one. Great vids! You're inspiring me while I sit on the couch!
Great idea!
Scott, you need a ministry series titled off automotive terms, Mini Tub Your Walk, Sway Bars for a Smoother Ride, Lugnuts to Keep the Wheels On, etc. Love the videos!
Ha! Heck yeah! Thank you.
Great ideas! "Don't let the rocks in your tires....dent the wheel wells of your soul"
Those flangers are nice. The punch really saves on drilling. Good job
It actually is a really helpful tool and it works!
I like the way you measure it out I would do the same thing
It's nice to see a pastor that can be a real car guy too and love Jesus God bless the work of your hands
Thank you my friend!!!!
The copper looking weld through primer works a lot better than the non copper variety... then again... turning up the welder a little helps [kinda makes sense to turn it up a notch when using that stuff when you think of it]. Like anything new, it takes getting used to. For the best of both worlds scenario thing to play out... the give and take principle applies.. it works better if you nudge up the setting and if you use the copper looking stuff.. or you avoid it all together and primer after you weld it like a logical person lmao
Agreed.
Great video. There is w savings if you already have the new inner wheel housings. But they are $200 a set after ahippong, then your time to make them and custom fab a bunch . Mustangs to fear kit is $400 and are direct fit. They fit well. Great instruction though!
You're right. Most of the time if I have the money I will choose to spend over build just because my time is so limited and gosh I'd like to finish something. But there are other times that I have to do the work because the money isn't there.
Your video is great if you are wanting to go considerably wider and spend a lot more money to modify the rear interior. I designed the Mustang To Fear tubs for no modification at all 😊
Thankyou Scott!!!!!!!
I think you are doing good. I'm building a 65 coupe. I'm in my fourth year on it. It's all a learning experience.
Yes it is!!!! Taking your time is the most important part.
The toughest part of being a mechanic and a Christian is now I spend half my time in the garage apologizing for things I shouldn't have said and getting mad when I shouldn't have. It's tough knowing he is watching you all the time when you just need him to look away for 30 seconds and let you explode real quick. haha
I think we all understand that. Lean into the fact He loves you and enjoys being there. Also just know getting mad or upset isn’t a sin just how you deal with it. Love comments like this. Transparent and real…
Cool thing about weld threw primer is you can weld threw it and you don't have to sand it off. Your overlapping metal will rust in between without it.
In theory... The weld through that I have used still effects the weld and really needs to be sanded off where you are welding. But I may need to be using a different type. The $25-35 a can hurts my heart...
We started using DTM in a rattle can, works 10 times better than all the weld thru primers 👍
Loving the videos super helpful
Thank you my friend!
Those are hex head self-tapping sheetmetal screws at 17:15.
YES!
Looks good! Didn't like the way it looks from the inside but awesome idea. Thank you for the video.
Great video. I like your approach and honesty
Thank you my friend.
Thanks..for.the.tips..my.friend.
Thank you!!!
Great job pastor
Thank you brother!!!
Thank you!!!
Great Video!!! 👍🏼
That flanger is nice!
🙌🏽
Lots of room left for more offset on the inside of the tire
Sure is. Honestly there is lots of wheel housing room in the mustang to begin with.
Have you thought of bead rolling the seam instead if cutting
I haven’t, how would you do that?
ua-cam.com/video/EWVkw27QZqo/v-deo.html weld in the inner fender than roll it so flange Is up against the quarter panel. You keep the flange for strength and clearance for tire. Tools are fairly cheap. I picked one up myself but have not done it yet

Does the mini tub effect the back seats? Do they fit with this modification?
Just for fitment I put the Coupe rear seat in and it's tight but will fit, you can't run the side panels this route. I still haven't decided how I am going to do the interior in the back, I know I am going to have a seat and I won't be running the fastback seat, just not exactly sure how I am going to do it...
What did you have to do to inner body to widen wheel tubs
Nothing to the quarters themselves but I did run frame rails that are narrower than the factory. However you can do tubs without narrowing the frame. Both the 1967 & 68 have lots of room for tires if you use mini tubs and the factory frame. There is really no reason to narrow the rear frame rails.
@@ScottHarness1 thanks
What size are your tires and wheels.
18X12 Rocket wheels in the rear with 305 30r 18's. I think I would do 335's if I were to do it again.
Great content ! Thank You where did You get Your wheel tubs
They are Rocket Wheels, I ordered them from Speedway Motors. 18x12
@@ScottHarness1I was asking about the tubs not the wheels because I want to do My 92 🦊 coup and am trying to do it on a very tight budget any information that You can share will be greatly appreciated ! Thank You & Best Wishes . 🇺🇸🇵🇷 🦊 👍
@@ferdinandcuevas8457 Sorry I didn't read that correctly. I made the mini tubs. I think in this thread there is a source for really affordable tubs though. I would buy them if I were you.
While thats impressive and cheaper because you already had new inners (which are like $200 that you're not counting in costs) my mtf mini tub install was much easier than the work you put into this, the time savings alone was worth the extra $200.
Good points. Drop a source for your mini tub kit I bet someone on here might want to do the same. Thanks for the comment, we’re all learning new ways and better ways.
@@ScottHarness1 mustangs to fear, perfect fitment
