That's what I call a "quick and dirty" tub job, it doesn't have to look good it's just gotta work lol. Hopefully you can show how you do it on the front too.
I enjoyed watching how you done mini tubs. I had never thought of doing it like you done. It would work great and I am anxious to try it. Many time I have wanted to put bigger tires on a model only to not have them fit, so usually give up trying to do it. But again, I think this is a great idea on doing mini tubs. Thanks for showing how to do it. And I have been building models for the better part of 60 years and never dreamed of doing this. Again, thanks
Thank From a Crusty old Phart Great tip since Ive had and idea rolling around in the back of my mind now just get the Meng 1/24th GT 40 finished and its off to the Track with a Mustang Build
There is another technique that can be used - I saw it many years ago. After cutting out the desired amount of the inner fender well, you can use a plastic medicine bottle ( or a bottle that used to contain aspirins or antacids or any other over-the-counter meds ). Use your saw to cut off the bottom of the bottle, then cut that piece in half. You are left with two identical inner wells that can be shaped and glued into place.
@@TheLukaCeeChannel Not so strange. The bigger wheels came a little bit later and in reality bigger wheels are not good for handling, they are more for looks....
Great video Luka. Wish I had thought about doing this for the Model Car Video group build. I had to make some room in the front and back of my Chevelle for the Nascar slicks so just went at it with the drimle. I'll definitely do this next time. Thanks.
I love kustom building cars. Last year I took three 1955 Chrysler two door and four dr. kits and made a chopped top two dr. With a blown hemi motor station wagon very kool and unique looking. Painted it tangerine orange candy.
Exactly what I needed to see. Thanks, brother. Nicely done and explained, and you left it well illustrated on just what a few extra steps would get you. I could actually see what you were saying. Peace
The (late?) Doctor Cranky.used the rear pro-street chassis from the mid "60s" Chevrolet Nova . I am using it on the "fast & furious" Plymouth.I liked the first F&F but the rest not so much.
That is one of my favorites. I do that also. But the point of this when you want to retain most of your stock chassis and just need room for bigger tires but not Pro Street size. I did point that out in the video.
I'm amazed you haven't got any etched saws, instead of struggling with a scalpel blade. I hardly use a Dremel. Mind your fingers and best wishes from jolly old England. 👍😎Pete 🤓
Great idea Tubing that out oh yeah I've been building models forever plug wires and other things it never dawned on me till I seen your video on the 66 Chevelle I've been forgetting the dang Dip Stick 😆 Thanks for the great tips and tricks
Thanks. You may be right. But odd that they are 15" Wheels. I did remember where I got these. An early 00s edition of the AMT Dodge Ram 50 mini truck. THANKS
Something i noticed is that you need to tighten the drimel with the wrench. Not just with your fingers. That's what the tool is for. Safety first. Like your video's. 👍thanks,
I was watching your video of cutting the wheel tubs out. Have you done a video on cutting the axle and repositioning of the leaf springs? Thank you for your great video
If I do something real trick with it and when I get back on it. I was just messing around with this kit. It's not one of my prioritie projects at this time. I will do some trick suspension vids in the future.
I would like to share with you what I bought for plastic cutting, on the TEMU website I found a pack if 0.5mm thick rotary saw blades that are used with a Dremel type tool instead of the abrasive cutting disks, perfect compliment to a man's tool kit for just this job and to top it all they were about $3 for a set, if you need help locating this, give me a shout
Luka C, do you often find yourself having to tweak the stance on your builds? Not just for using different wheel/tires, but even to get better placement in the wheel well too?
Started working on a 71’ Hemi cuda and decided to take some wheels off an 89’ Batmobile so the back tires will be huge looking. But now I lost a part for the tire and started wondering youtube🙄
Can anybody out there in the model carb-loading World let me know if they have those model kits at already painted all you do is put them together cuz Google is too dumb to give you the answer when I Google it
Nice vid Nice tip, thanks for sharing!
I love the Razor saw too........... 👍😉👍🙂
Very nice ! Great Tutorial seen all kinds of crazy stuff used … Thanks For Sharing
Straight-Up COOL Video Sir, Thanks For Sharing n Have a Blessed Week.

The razor saw and dremel are your modeling friend. 😁
Nice tutorial. Great tips on making things the way you want them.
This is one of the best videos on modeling I've seen. Thanks.
Wow, thanks!
Thank From a Crusty old Phart Great tip since Ive had and idea rolling around in the back of my mind now just get the Meng 1/24th GT 40 finished and its off to the Track with a Mustang Build
Very good tip thanks luka
Does anybody know where you can get your hands on wider tires or a muscle car model car I should say
Very useful! I hope you will detail a bit of how you do the front suspension as well.
That's how I always do my tubs never had luck halfing the rear end
I saw your how to make Mini Tubs video. Great job on teaching us how to do a quick build on that '71 Challenger kit.
That’s exactly how I mini tubbed my real car. Good job
That looks pretty cool.
Nice! 😁 Look forward to seeing it completed! That's for sharing. 👍
Thanks for the tip!
Awesome work Luka!
Thanks for tip,

Yep, I've done that, too.
Aluminum soda can works well too, can make it look like sheet metal, and add some painted ribbits
@@dustinrossi9384 never heard of a "ribbit" except for the sound a frog makes.
😄@@urbanurchin5930
That was a great video Luka, I’ve never done anything like that. Thanks for the tip.
BMWs can be mini tubbed, too. LOL
Thanks, my friend!
@@TheLukaCeeChannel I have muscle car models too😜
Very good video. Any chance we will get to see the Mountain dew Monte Carlo fender flare Video. Sorry for the impatience.
Yep. When its done
I did indeed learn something, awesome tip/techniques, my friend, thank you 😁✌
That is my favorite kind of compliment. Thank you, sir.
Can’t believe I miss this video,just a very useful tip,thank you very kindly,btw just got your door handles,beautiful job u did, again thanks
Awesome! Thank you! I hope you get good use out of them.
@@TheLukaCeeChannel I will,got over 1000 model kits,lot
I have just done a full tub on the same car. Used part of a vacuum cleaner hose. And now building a 4 link for it.
Great video Luka I always struggle doing this and you made it so easy looking I am going to try it this way now
Right on , don't waste it share it , 👍
Luka.
A very helpful video sir.
Great Channel
Great work! Have done it . The tires are from AMT Guldstrand Grand Sport 90 I think if I remember...
Cool thanks. Strange that it would be 15" wheels for a car like that.
@@TheLukaCeeChannel Not so strange. The bigger wheels came a little bit later and in reality bigger wheels are not good for handling, they are more for looks....
👍👍, awesome Luka
Nice Great Tip Thank You 🐎Mr. ED Says Just Have Fun Modeling
Thank you for your videos. I have learned so much from you. You are the best.

Great clean cut Luka. Thanks for the tip
Looks like the amt viper gts tires. And I'm doing a duster and your video just saved me some time

DOH!!!!!!! I do have those!! I totally forgot! You are right. That would be WAY better!!😲
Nice tip's Thanks again love it!!✌️😎

I need one of those razor saws
thanks for the video LC
Very cool Matt
just like the full size !!!!
I believe the tires are from the AMT Viper kit...
Thanks. You may be right. But odd that they are 15" Wheels. I did remember where I got these. An early 00s edition of the AMT Dodge Ram 50 mini truck. THANKS
Maxi Tub next!
That's called "A Back Half". LOL
Another great video Luka! I'm working on a Pro Stock Demon and your tips will help me a great deal. I love the channel. Keep the videos coming.
Something i noticed is that you need to tighten the drimel with the wrench. Not just with your fingers. That's what the tool is for. Safety first. Like your video's. 👍thanks,
You can also use the back of the Blade to scribe out the bottom of the tub!
I was watching your video of cutting the wheel tubs out. Have you done a video on cutting the axle and repositioning of the leaf springs? Thank you for your great video
Not yet
those tires came from the amt 57 chevrolet street machine. the kit that comes with a tubbed chassis and frame.
Great Video, Do you plan on doing a video on the rear suspension mods ?
If I do something real trick with it and when I get back on it. I was just messing around with this kit. It's not one of my prioritie projects at this time. I will do some trick suspension vids in the future.
I would like to share with you what I bought for plastic cutting, on the TEMU website I found a pack if 0.5mm thick rotary saw blades that are used with a Dremel type tool instead of the abrasive cutting disks, perfect compliment to a man's tool kit for just this job and to top it all they were about $3 for a set, if you need help locating this, give me a shout
you can use old MPC NASCAR tires for this as well.
I have used tin from a pop can for this also LC. it is already curved.
I want to see it after you're done building it
There is saw blades that fit into the Exacto knives they work great along with your saw
I know. I have a set. They are photo Etched. I use them when I want to limit the amount of material, removed. It didn't matter on this job.
those tires look like the ones that came out of the early 90s era dodge viper from eartl, i believe!
They just might.
Great job. The tires you want to use, do you think they are 50’s ? They look bigger than 60’s.
Not sure. In 1to1 they would be huge.
I remembered what kit I found them in. The AMT Dodge Ram 50.
Those tires came in the older MONOGRAM DODGE VIPER RT/10 kits.
Could you use a hacksaw instead?
Luka C, do you often find yourself having to tweak the stance on your builds? Not just for using different wheel/tires, but even to get better placement in the wheel well too?
Everytime.
AMT tires came with Joke Goon/Gotham Police car and most all Police or fire chief Dodge Monaco's
Started working on a 71’ Hemi cuda and decided to take some wheels off an 89’ Batmobile so the back tires will be huge looking. But now I lost a part for the tire and started wondering youtube🙄
Are those tires from the AMT Viper Coupe kit?
Luke what is your favorite 55 Chevy kit ?
The AMT
Can anybody out there in the model carb-loading World let me know if they have those model kits at already painted all you do is put them together cuz Google is too dumb to give you the answer when I Google it
The real cars are done the same way.
Super singles made for semi trucks
You can get a closer fit with a lot easier effort get a cordless dremal with a diamond cut off wheel
