Tubbing Rear Wheelwells

Post by f100fordguy »

A few of you guys wanted to see the tubs I made in the bed of my fridge so I snapped a few pics. Added 3" strip to the stock wheelwells to keep it as stock as possible. Plan on getting 12"x15" Mickey Thompson ET rims and Hosier Pro Street radials for it shortly. Have 15" opening now to fit tires into nicely with about 1.5" of clearance on both sides of the tire.

Nice solution. Looks original which I like.

Nice tin work f100ford guy! :thumright:

That will look tough with those rubs neatly tucked in. I'd like to see a pic, when you get them on.

Thanks.

Nice Job! I really hate the way those fabricated tubs look. Yours will look great when finished!

Nice job Tim, and I have to agree that looks a hell of a lot better than cut down oil drums!
