Re: Project "Shifted"
Not to mention the price you pay for the steel tubs to start with. Will save a lot of work. Neat idea.

Re: Project "Shifted"
True, I used 4 tubs to make mine. That $400 if you buy them new.

Re: Project "Shifted"
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! Ben |

Re: Project "Shifted"
They look very nice Rob, a set of those would save a ton of time on a build.

Re: Project "Shifted"
Maybe I missed it, but your son has to be almost 17? is he tooling around in that 5th gen 'maro I've seen hiding in a few photos? Is he still sowing interest in the truck?
I should seek out one of your other threads but since I'm here is your '68 running with the maggie? Is it the big charger 2300 or the 1900? and lastly are you using the truck accessory spacing? I know that you had used the Holley brackets, but wasn't sure what those had for spacing? I ask because a Maggie charger is the plan for my nova which currently has the truck accessories and water pump. Don't sell this build! you guys are so close now!!! |

My gold 68 had a 1900 Maggie. I used the truck spacing because that is what the 2010+ Camaros use.

I have a three year old. I guess I need to quit spending her college fund on old cars and put it in a trust!

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