Yeah it has to have a mini tub for sure.

   fella's- let me clear it up for ya's..... yes, the BRE cars are all tubbed and use 18x12 rear wheels if i'm not mistaken. i'm not tubbing the rear wheel wells. i'm told i can get an 18x10 back there with no issues with the correct offset and backspacing, however i'm not there yet in the project. the new job has me on a much tighter budget until about next spring, so the wheels may have to wait for a bit

[SoonerTA]

HAHA awesome how did that beauty mark happen ?

no kidding...Thats crazy.  And not just a little ding. 

[SnapOnBilly]

yea that sucks! was the BRE carburated or fuel injected? i'm guessing carburated since i see a stock appearing fuel tank...

[eroc022]

its both.... i know the ls7 motor they put in was fuel injected, and i wish they would sell the shaker base setup for that....

  i forgot to post the pics of what i did last week. hopefully will be able to do some more this weekend

the rear kit came with flexible lines but the mounting hardware has me using a big hose clamp to secure it to the axle tube. don't know how i feel about that


pressed in the rear leaf spring bushings

Man, you might as well be assembling a space shuttle for NASA, that's how clean it looks in there! Great work, as usual.
