My '69 Camaro Restomod project

[Gruth5]

Hi All,
I'm new to the forum, not too sure how to navigate around yet. I've managed most of my modifications with the help of my son and friends. I'm in the process of installing front and rear Ridetech supension, that's the fun part. I'm sure the question of how to alter the rear seats to accomodate the chassisworks mini tubs, same as dse, has been asked several times, but a quick guide to the best step by step pictures would be helpful. Hoping to have the car on the ground soon and screamin around town. Thanks

Welcome, the search button is very helpful on this site in answering just about all questions you may have. I would love to see a pic of the car before you start.

Lots of people have posted mini-tub installs. Here is my version done in my garage. Scroll to the bottom of page 2 for the start. There are a few useful photos in there.

Also, I really like the DSE website. You can browse all their old projects and see how they do things and you know it will be done correctly. More-or-less the same process with any mini-tub. Make sure you know which rear suspension you are using before you start. For example the DSE quadralink has a cross-member that ties into the tubs and it is easier to do both at the same time. I made the rookie mistake of drilling a bunch of spot welds I didn't need to. So watch how people cut things out and choose the most efficient way to avoid extra drilling. It is a straight-forward and rewarding job but expect to take a while your first time. Also there is a photo tax. You have to post lots of photos as you go along - welcome !

My tubs are completed, And you're right, it took a while. I'm somewhat stuck on the rear seat modification. I need the rear seat mods if anyone has them, I'll get pics posted soon.
