Who's down to possibly help do a minitub on my 68 Camaro?

[whytry]

Hey guys,

I am trying to do the minitub myself in the garage at my place, since the car doesnt have a motor in it. Since my divorce its been sitting for over 3yrs... As soon as I start making more money I'm back in court for my EX to take it for child support and alimony. UGH.... So any help is appreciated.

I was going to do the just relocate the stock tubs inward, I alread have a shock relocation kit installed and springs offset,etc. I narrowed the rearend a little for deeper lip on new wheels too. All that is left is the big project of tubbing it. Anybody possibly willing to come up a day or something and help out? I have plasma and welder... I'm un in the Sacramento area, El Dorado Hills actually...

Im not going for the cleanest look here, it will all be carpeted over anyways.... So I was thinking of plasma cutting them out and moving the whole section inward then tacking in the strip to close the gap. I know its more complicated than that but that was my plan... Ideas? thoughts? possible help?

I'll provide food, water during process, don't need ER visits or an OOPS, plenty of beer after, n some of the best pasta for dinner you can possibly ever have. My girlfriend is a bad ass cook..... Hence why I'm weighing in at 275 now... hahaha

AGAIN thanks,
Brad

Wasn't sure where to post something like this of if there's a chance of it happening...... But this was a better option than spending what is my LS motor money on a shop doing this and me towing it there and back and then starting over on saving for the motor....

hahaha THX bro, yeah moved to El Dorado Hills, started my own investment firm in 2008, unfortunately my now ex decided to start sleeping with her boss, so in 2011 I sold the company back to my partners and tried to fix my family 1st.... Didn't know it was her boss till too late, parted ways in 2012, finally getting back to what motivates me.... Cars on this site...

Bro I feel ya. I've been through the whole divorce thing. Fortunately I have 50/50 with the kids. Still pay some child support but it's not much and considering the time I get with them it's worth it.

In regards to asking for help, I have no welding skills not am I even in ur state but I think that's the best way to get things done. I've helped dozen of ppl work on their cars just for the fun and food. This is a car community and if someone can help they should. Wish the best for you. Btw if someone does back u up regardless of the quality post pics.

I got 50/50 too but I make more than her so here in lovely CA I pay....

As far as the car goes I will post up as many pix as I can even if its my own welding, which I know isn't gonna be pretty but it's what I'm working with. HAHAHA


But hoping to try to tackle this in the next couple weeks/weekends so if anybody could possibly lend a hand it would greatly appreciated!

C'mon Vince - all the pasta with homemade sauce you can eat and cold coors light... My girl's dad was one of the chef's at Original Joes......

You should give Logan Davis a call. He's here in Sac still and working as a welder in West Sac. I'm sure he'd be happy to hear from ya.
