F U, pal.
Bubba,
Seriously. Don't mini tub or tub the car unless at least one of these things are true:
1.) You need (not WANT) the space.
2.) You will have most of the rear sheetmetal apart anyway
3.) You have the proper tools to do it right
4.) You have the time and/or money to do it right
Take it from me, replacing wheel wells is not fun. 86 T/A did a great job with his but I believe he will concur that it is not exactly "easy" to do.
In your case all you need to do is cut out the metal until you hit good stuff, then make a template out of cardboard to fit the hole in your metal. Transfer that template to sheet metal, cut it out of the metal, form with a torch, fit, weld, and paint. This is not that hard, I've done this a bunch of times on a number of cars. The price of this will be damn near nothing, and you can put the time and money into other parts of the car.
