[bdblevins]

Can you mini-tub a 90GT Vert? Is there enough room to put the tubs in and not interfere with the vert. top?
Thanks,
Bobby

my car is tubbed and there is not much room back on the trunk. im going to say no.

check out trbofox. he tubbed his car and he still fit the stock plastics 1/4 panels over them. not sure if he used a kit or fabbed his own.

but isnt his a notch?

may be very different on a Vert

but i have seen pics of a vert that was mini tubbed

 

[stykthyn]

the rear layout in a vert and a notch are the same. I would think if he can get his 1/4 panels on then the tubs he used wouldnt interfere with the top or with some slight mods could be made to fit.

I assumed they were differen, notch from a vert. I tried to order a rear seat delete and was told a notch wouldn't fit a vert and they didn't have them for a vert. So I wondered about the tubs.
Thanks,

the trunk area is 90% the same, the back seats are completeley different which is why the delete wouldnt have worked.

 

[bdblevins]

OK I should be able to Tub it then.
I don't care about the plastic in the 1/4s at all. This is just a tinkertoy that I want to lighten, tub and make run and look good mainly on the exterior. In other words HOT ROD.
Thanks,

what are you using the car for? If your planning on going drag racing you may want to consider starting with a hatch or a notch

Mini-Tubs

Just something to play with. I know it's heavier but I'm taking everything I can off and out of it to lighten it up. Tube K-Member, A-Arms, no front sway bar, no bumper support, no overflow jug, no wiper resevoir, battery in trunk, aluminum door panels, no console, you get the picture, it's just a toy. Nothing serious. I just wanted something to work on to releave tension, seems to work but it's releaving my checkbook to. lol
Thanks for all your help.

its not so much the weight its the chassis flex. you are going to need a full cage, subframes, front and rear shock tower braces and a k member brace wouldnt hurt either to keep that thing as straight as possible.

yea thats what i was getting at too, convertible is alot more work and the speed where a cage is required is much slower than a hartop, but if thats what you wanna do have a blast
