no one said it was "First on your list" ....
You probably will take this the wrong way, but most believe it shouldn't be on your list.

You have no need for them unless you plan on back-halving the car, and there are plenty of 3rd gens running single digits on stock style suspension. Do you plan on making the car that fast? If so, I expect to see some real tubs there, not just some pansy minitubs. Otherwise you'll just have to do them again when you back-halve the car and try to stick some monster meats under it.

people, just stop responding to this, cause your just gonna get the same automated answer from him saying he's gonna do it, but you know he's not gonna. If he was gonna do half the **** he says he's gonna do, it of been done already, but there are alot of things that prevent him from doing so, so Im not gonna hold my breath , nor really expect him to do this. The car will be sitting on jack stands just like his "other project" for quite a while.

Doing tubs isn't a back yard lets try this for the first time job especially if you have no metal/welding experiance that tub is what helps tie the back of the car together on a sub-frame car.

you can't be serious, How the hell do you think I've been putting gas in it paying my insurance and keeping my phone on. Every day I've been busting my ass scraping cars, and parting out cars. ****s been slow the last 2 weeks so yea I've been home more, But I have 2 45ft Grumman box trucks to cut down and scrap a 86 suburban and possibly a few others. those to trucks both weigh 10k lbs and are mostly aluminum,I'm splitting the weight with my scrap partner and I'll make $2600 in 4 days, by april 24th I'll have over 6k in the bank just from this month. Come give me **** when you can even fathom having that much at once. Just because I don't have a job doesn't mean I'm not busting my ass all hours of the day. You don't know anything about me, what I do on a daily basis, you have no ****ING. You wanna criticize my ideas, why don't you take a look at your own car.

AFAIK he hasn't even seen his car in well over a month. Last I saw it was sitting outside of Josh's shop waiting for him to bring parts to Josh.

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.
