Thanks! I hope there is a market for them, :D or else I'm going to be stuck with a bunch of fiberglass "end tables"....:lol:.

I'd be interested in a set, and that would work great for you when I drop my truck off to you. At least you would be familiar with the tubs you are installing:lol:

I like how you run a tire with a little more sidewall than most. Im trying to figure out what I'm going to run. I just wonder how the rears would fit with a step side bed. I'm tubbing it so the inside wont be a problem but I want to get the dippiest dish I can with the earl narrow rear and not have to worry about them hitting my fenders

Yeah, I don't like rubberbands, :lol:. I'm not sure on the stepsides as far as the max dish. PM Buck68, I used to have a 68 stepside and can probably give you some good info.

True Dat!!! Well, I'm not sure if this is the right truck, but I did make some more progress last night, :D. I put the front clip back on to finish up some stuff. Hopefully it will only have to come off one more time....:devil:.

Sorry this is kind of late, but if you make those wheel tubs in mass quantities, may not have to sell the truck for college expenses!!!!! Great Job!

Mold making is tedious and expensive, ask me I how I know! I made some speaker enclosures for C4 corvettes a few years ago, and I bet I sank more than $1200 in materials to get the shape and fit I was looking for! bad thing is, I had a garage fire and lost most everything I had in there (no cars or toys) just my molds/tools,etc.....it's too bad though, lots of folks still asking me if I still make them, have to say no....lots of money to be made in the fiberglass / molding fabrication though. I still have a rough casting of those housings, should the desire to return to that arises....good to have a back up plan, after all that trouble!
Have a good one!

Currently working on installing the Hill's inner front fenders. No noteworthy pictures yet, mainly trimming and fitting. I'm getting some great advice from N2BILLET, which is helping immensely on getting them installed. I should have some good pictures by the weekend.

Working on installing the front tubs. Big thanks to N2BILLET for the template!

Re: Project "Shifted"
 
Is a template not included with the tubs? Were your inners previously trimmed?

Are you talking about the front or rear tubs?

The tubs do come with a template. After looking at Tiffany and talking to Keith, I decided use his method, as it cleans up the fenders. PM returned.
