Really enjoyed the video Mark. Attention to detail! I learn something in every episode. Keeping things around can be messy at times, but when you need something it’s right there!

Thank you Robert. I have several home made tools hanging around, remembering where I put them is the hard part.

"I need a bigger hammer" now you're talking MY kind of language! lol It turned out VERY NICE Mark.

Thanks, the other side turned out to be a lot more work than I thought. Both are done now and have the same amount of room.

Mark I seen a 1967 nova you opened up the wheel wells. It was beautiful....

I really like those little Nova's. Wouldn't mind owning one.

Nice work as always, Mark. My son has a 69 Camaro and wants a little wider rear tire. But mini tubs add so many more mods. Moving the springs and narrowing the fuel tank, or a four link set up makes it so cost prohibitive. I'll suggest we look into something like this. Thanks for showing us your work.

Thanks Matt. I have never done this on a Camaro so I can't speak to that but it certainly is worth a look to see if you could glean some room. Doing tubs opens a big can of worms for sure.

Very nice work Mark. Right there is the difference between a job and a labor of love. I have never liked the look of aftermarket tubs no matter how well they are done. I really don't like when they tub the AD trucks. Some classes of racing you have to run under a 12" wide tire. I like to keep my racing options open so I'm widening the rear fenders about 2" I think. I really like the ide of the rolled inner flange. Getting rid of that sharp edge sound like a great idea. I also want to widen the front fenders and running boards for a little wider look. I learn a lot from your videos. You explain thing very well. Thank you for your time.

Thanks. I have been thinking about your widening of your fenders. I think the Cut and Butt method would work the best. Here is a link to Fitzees Fabrications. Tony does a lot of Cut and Butt and this video shows why it is so useful. kzread.info/dash/bejne/f3aNqamzYdzfipM.htmlsi=EFqQj5Z9iUxtREQS On your fenders you could cut the donor fenders 2 1/2" out from the mounting flange from one end to the other, make a 2" wood spacer to place between the two flanges of the donor piece and fender to clamp them together so it will be perfectly parallel line up the sheet metal and tack it like Tony does. Then cut all the way through both pieces at the 2" mark, make the seam flush and tack away. You need a really thin cut off blade on your grinder but this method will help keep the shape of the fenders really well. I would start at the top of the fender and work each way to the bottom.
